Strait was reassigned to AHL Manitoba on Thursday.
Strait heads back to the minors now that the Jets are starting to get healthy on the blue line. The 29-year-old appears to have been beaten out for a spot in the lineup not only by the returning injured, but also by youngsters Julian Melchiori and Nelson Nogier, as Winnipeg has started thinking about the 2017-18 campaign and evaluating the talent within the organization.
