Winnipeg Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec won’t be returning to the Czech League when play resumes this week.

The website iSport.cz has reported that Pavelec’s contract with the Liberec Tigers has expired and wasn’t going to be renewed after the current international hockey break in Europe.

The goalie was quoted as saying, "I had a contract to Nov. 4, and now that I saw that the NHL season could be saved, I think I’ll probably go back to Canada," in a translation.
