Winnipeg Jets News

Miller will take a seat on Thursday as the Jets opt to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Haydn Fleury will draw into the lineup in his place.

Fleury will make his first appearance since January 28th, slotting in for Colin Miller. Fleury has zero goals and six assists in 29 games this season.

Winnipeg will turn to back-up goaltender Eric Comrie on Thursday as they get set to play their second game in as many nights. Comrie is riding a personal three-game winning streak, including a 4-3 shootout victory in St. Louis on Saturday. The 29-year-old netminder has been solid when called upon this season, registering a .910 SV% across 14 appearances. Comrie and the Jets enter action in Nashville on Thursday at -135 on the money line.

The Jets are riding a 10-game winning streak and will turn to Hellebuyck between the pipes on Wednesday against the Ottawa Senators. The 31-year-old Hellebuyck was solid in his previous outing, albeit lightly tested, saving 17 of 18 shots (.944 SV%) in a 2-1 overtime win over the San Jose Sharks. He has an outstanding 2.04 GAA and .925 SV% in 44 games this season (35-7-2). The Jets enter Wednesday's contest as -145 road favorites against a Senators club missing several key offensive pieces due to injuries, including Josh Norris, Shane Pinto, and Brady Tkachuk.

Anderson-Dolan played 77 NHL games over the previous two seasons but has spent the entirety of the 2024-25 campaign in the AHL. The 25-year-old forward has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 38 games with the Manitoba Moose (AHL) this season.

Heinola returned to the Jets lineup on Saturday with Josh Morrissey (illness) unavailable, but he'll come back out of the lineup on Monday. This will mark the 11th time in 12 games that Heinola has been a healthy scratch.

Morrissey missed the first game back after the 4Nations Face-off due to illness, but he's expected to replace Colin Miller in the lineup on Monday. Morrissey, who has seven goals and 39 assists (46 points) in 56 games this season, should re-claim his spot on the PP1 vs. the Sharks.

Hellebuyck got a night off after returning from the 4Nations Face-off, but is expected to be back between the pipes on Monday. Hellebuyck enters play on a six-game winning streak while posting a 2.32 GAA and .914 SV%. Since December 5th, Hellebuyck has lost just four games, going 19-2-2 with a 1.99 GAA, .924 SV% and three shutouts. Make sure he's in your lineup tonight, as the Jets are massive -463 home favourites vs. a Sharks team that is on the second half of a back-to-back.

Connor Hellebuyck will not play on Saturday, resting from his stint at the 4-Nations Face Off, allowing Comrie to tend the twine against the St. Louis Blues. The 29-year-old Comrie has been serviceable in limited action this season, posting a 2.58 GAA and .912 SV% in 13 games (5-7-1).

Lowry missed eight straight games due to an upper-body injury before the break for the 4-Nations Face Off, but will return to the lineup after practicing this week. The 31-year-old Lowry has 26 points (11G / 15A) in 26 games this season.

Hellebuyck played three of four games for USA in the 4-Nations Face Off and will have the day off in Winnipeg's return to action on Saturday against the St. Louis Blues. The 31-year-old Hellebuyck will look to regroup after a day of rest and return to an outstanding 2024-25 campaign, boasting an impressive 2.06 GAA and .925 SV% through 43 games (34-7-2).

Morrissey did not play for Canada in Thursday's 3-2 win over USA at the 4-Nations Face Off and will remain sidelined due to an illness when Winnipeg return to action on Saturday against the St. Louis Blues. The 29-year-old Morrissey has 46 points (7G / 39A) in 56 games this season. Expect Neal Pionk to quarterback Winnipeg's top powerplay unit in Morrissey's absence.

Lowry missed eight straight games due to an upper-body injury before the break for the 4-Nations Face Off, but appears ready to return to the lineup after practicing in full on Wednesday. The 31-year-old Lowry has 26 points (11G / 15A) in 26 games this season. The Jets return to action on Saturday against the St. Louis Blues.

Brad Lambert will return to the Jets' lineup on Friday, resulting in Ford being a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old Ford has played three games with the Jets, the first of his NHL career, scoring one goal and averaging 7:50 time-on-ice.

Lambert had a brief stint with the Jets earlier this season, being held without a point in four games. The 21-year-old Lambert was the 30th overall pick of the Jets in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. He broke onto the professional scene last season with an impressive 55 points (21G / 34A) in 64 games with Manitoba (AHL) but has not been as effective this season, scoring only 16 points (3G / 16A) through 30 games with the club.

The Jets have won seven straight, including a 3-0 win with Eric Comrie between the pipe on Tuesday against the Carolina Hurricanes. Still, the club will return to their Vezina-winning netminder on Friday against the New York Islanders. The 31-year-old Hellebuyck is having another outstanding season, boasting an immaculate 2.04 GAA and .925 SV% in 42 games this season (33-7-2). The Jets enter Friday's game as -190 home favorites against a hot Islanders club that has won eight of their last nine (8-1-0).
