Comrie will start against the Sabres on Friday.

Comrie and the Jets have struggled lately and lost 3-2 in a shootout against the Montreal Canadiens on Wednesday despite Comrie's best performance, saving 29 of 31 shots (.935 SV%), since Connor Hellebuyck (knee) has been sidelined. The 30-year-old Comrie has a 2.99 GAA and .897 SV% in 11 games (5-5-1) and will be desperate to return to the win column on Friday against his former team, the Buffalo Sabres. The Jets enter Friday's contest as -129 home favourites.

Comrie will start in Montreal on Wednesday.

Since Connor Hellebuyck (knee) has been sidelined, Comrie has not been able to fill the void of the Vezina-winning netminder, posting an ugly 3.20 GAA and .877 SV% in five games (1-4-0). Before Hellebuyck's injury, Comrie was excellent as his backup, posting a 2.60 GAA and .908 SV% in five outings (4-1-0). Comrie returns to the crease on Wednesday, with the Jets entering action as -117 road favorites against a Montreal Canadiens team that has been outscored 12-4 in their last two games (0-2-0).

Comrie will start in Buffalo on Monday.

The Jets have struggled without Connor Hellebuyck (knee), but finally recorded their first win in five games without him (1-4-0), a 5-2 victory over the Nashville Predators, in which Comrie saved 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%). The Jets will hope Comrie's first win as their de facto starting netminder will give him momentum to improve on his 2.91 GAA and .898 SV% in nine games (5-4-0) this season. The Jets enter Monday's contest as +101 road underdogs against a Buffalo Sabres team that has scored two or fewer goals in three straight games (1-2-0).

Comrie will start in Washington on Wednesday.

Comrie has started both games since Connor Hellebuyck (knee) announced out for the next 4-6 weeks, but has not produced favourable results in those games (0-2-0), allowing seven goals on 58 combined shots (.879 SV%). The 30-year-old Comrie has a 2.87 GAA and .899 SV% through seven games this season (4-3-0). He has never started more than 20 games in a season, a total that he should have no problem surpassing in 2025-26. The Jets enter Wednesday's contest as +129 road underdogs against a Washington Capitals team that has scored five or more goals in three of their last four games (3-1-0).

Comrie will start against the Hurricanes on Friday.

With Connor Hellebuyck sidelined for several weeks after undergoing a minor Arthroscopic knee procedure, Comrie will likely see a heavy workload for the Jets, starting with Friday's game against the Carolina Hurricanes. Comrie started a career-high 20 games last season, a total he will surely surpass with Hellebuyck out of the lineup. The 30-year-old Comrie has been solid in limited action this season, posting a 2.60 GAA and .908 SV% in five games (4-1-0). The Jets enter Friday's contest as +138 road underdogs against a Hurricanes team that has points in eight of its last 10 games (6-2-2).

The 30-year-old Comrie has a 2.75 GAA and .908 SV% in four games this season (3-1-0). The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as -181 home favorites against a Blue Jackets team that defeated the Montreal Canadiens 4-3 in a shootout last night.

Comrie will start on Long Island on Monday.

The Jets are off to a 1-1-0 start to the 2025-26 season and will rest Connor Hellebuyck for the first time, allowing Comrie to tend the twine on Monday against the New York Islanders. As per usual, Hellebuyck had a heavy workload in 2024-25, but Comrie was excellent when called upon, posting a 2.39 GAA and .914 SV% in 20 games (9-10-1). The Jets enter Monday's contest as -123 road underdogs against the Islanders.

Eric Comrie
Comrie will start in Vegas on Thursday.

The Jets are trying to maintain their lead over the Dallas Stars for first place in the Central Division but will turn to backup netminder Eric Comrie on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 29-year-old Comrie struggled in his most recent outing, allowing four goals on 16 shots (.750 SV%) in a 5-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. He has a 2.49 GAA and .909 SV% in 18 games this season (8-9-1). The Jets enter Thursday's contest as +130 road underdogs against a Golden Knights team that has won six of their last seven games (6-1-0).
