With Winnipeg out of the playoffs, they will be dressing some of their young talent on Monday vs. Vegas as Nikita Chibrikov draws back into the Jets' lineup. The 23-year-old forward last appeared in a Jets jersey on November 11th, 2025 and has yet to pick up a point in any of his eight appearances this season.
With Gustav Nyquist returning from an injury, Chibrikov will head to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 22-year-old Chibrikov is averaging 9:12 time-on-ice and has zero points through eight games this season.
Chibrikov has only played five games this season, scoring zero points, and has been sidelined since October 26th. The 22-year-old Chibrikov was drafted 50th overall by the Jets in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft.
Chibrikov was the odd-man out of the Jets lineup on Wednesday as Nikolaj Ehlers returned from a lower-body injury. Chibrikov has impressed in his limited opportunities this season, scoring two goals and adding one assist in four games.
