Winnipeg Jets News

The Jets will hand Hellebuyck his 18th start of the season when they travel to Denver on Friday. Hellebuyck was unfortunate to be tagged with the loss in his last start, allowing just a single goal on 26 shots in a 1-0 loss in St. Louis on Wednesday. The three-time Vezina Trophy winner brings a 9-7-1 record and .918 SV% into Wednesday night's matchup with the mighty Avalanche, where the Jets enter action at +200 on the money line.

Fleury will make his return from a one month absence, returning from a concussion, resulting in Schenn heading to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 36-year-old Schenn has four assists and 61 hits in 24 games this season.

Luke Schenn will be a healthy scratch on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche, opting for more mobility on the blueline with Fluery re-entering the lineup after recovering from a concussion. The 29-year-old Fleury had been recovering from a concussion and has not played in over a month.

Tanner Pearson will draw back into Winnipeg's lineup on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche, resulting in Koepke being a healthy scratch. The 27-year-old Koepke is averaging 10:26 time-on-ice and has six points (2G / 4A) in 24 games this season.

Cole Koepke will be a healthy scratch on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche, allowing Pearson to re-enter the lineup. The 33-year-old Pearson has five points (4G / 1A) in 27 games this season.

The Jets went 3-8-1 in 12 games with Hellebuyck sidelined due to a knee injury, but have collected at least a point in both games since his return (1-0-1). The 32-year-old Hellebuyck has been solid between the pipes, as per usual, posting a 2.44 GAA and .915 SV% in 16 games (9-6-1). The Jets enter the action on Wednesday as -132 road favorites against a St. Louis Blues team that has been outscored 19-9 in their last four games (1-3-0).

The Jets went 3-8-1 in 12 games with Hellebuyck sidelined due to a knee injury, but they were seemingly a new team when he returned to the lineup on Saturday. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck was excellent in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Washington Capitals, saving 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%). Before his injury, Hellebuyck was in the running to be a candidate for another Vezina trophy, but he may have fallen out of the race after missing a full month. He has a 2.41 GAA and .916 SV% in 15 games (9-6-0). The Jets enter Monday's contest as -129 home favorites against an Ottawa Senators team that has lost four of its last five games (1-4-0).

Hellebuyck has not played since November 15th and was given a 4-6 week recovery timeline after undergoing a minor Arthroscopic knee procedure. That said, he returned to practice this week and appears to be targeting the early end of his timelines and could return to the crease as soon as Saturday against the Washington Capitals. The Jets have gone 3-8-1 in 12 games without Hellebuyck and will be eager to regain the services of their three-time Vezina-winning goalie. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck was showcasing a 2.51 GAA and .913 SV% in 14 games (8-6-0) before his injury.

With Gustav Nyquist drawing back into the lineup, Pearson will be the odd man out as a healthy scratch. The 33-year-old Pearson has five points (4G / 1A) in 27 games this season.

Connor Hellebuyck (knee) returned to practice on Wednesday, but Comrie will continue to occupy the crease on Thursday against the Boston Bruins. The 30-year-old Comrie has struggled, as have the Jets, since Hellebuyck's injury, posting a concerning sub- .800 SV% in three of his last five games (1-3-1). He has a 3.16 GAA and .892 SV% in 14 games this season (6-7-1). The Jets enter Thursday's contest as -148 home favorites against a Bruins team that has scored four or more goals in four straight games (3-1-0).

Nyquist was acquired in the offseason to help mitigate the loss of Nikolaj Ehlers, but he has struggled finding his footing with the Jets. The 36-year-old Nyquist only has six points (0G / 6A) in 20 games, and has been held off the scoresheet in six straight. He was a healthy scratch for the last week, but will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Boston Bruins.

Hellebuyck has not played since November 15th and was given a 4-6 week recovery timeline after undergoing a minor Arthroscopic knee procedure, but appears to be targeting the early end as a return after practicing on Wednesday. The Jets have gone 3-7-1 in 11 games without Hellebuyck and will be eager to regain the services of their three-time Vezina-winning goalie. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck was showcasing a 2.51 GAA and .913 SV% in 14 games (8-6-0) before his injury.

The Jets have fallen down the standings since the absence of Connor Hellebuyck (knee), going 3-5-1 in nine games, relying almost exclusively on Eric Comrie. Understandably, the 30-year-old Comrie has been unable to fill the void of the three-time Vezina-winning goalie, but he has still posted less-than-ideal results. Comrie has a 2.90 GAA and .892 SV% in eight games (2-5-1) since Hellebucyk's injury. The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as +115 home underdogs against one of the hottest teams in the NHL, the Dallas Stars, who are 13-1-2 in their last 16 games.

Salamonsson was drafted in the second-round, 55th overall, by the Jets in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old Swedish defenseman made his NHL debut this season, playing four games with Winnipeg. He made his North American professional debut last season in the AHL, scoring 27 points (5G / 22A) in 53 games with the Manitoba Moose.
