EVERETT, Wash. - Everett Silvertips (@WHLSilvertips) defenseman Jake Christiansen has been returned to the roster of the team from the Calgary Flames of the National Hockey League, Silvertips general manager Garry Davidson announced today.

Christiansen, 19, was a Silvertips Iron Man award recipient for the past two seasons, playing all 72 games. He scored six goals each season, but nearly doubled his assist total from the last season in 2017-18, with 25 assists for a career high 31 points.
