Note: It was an informative day of practice in Winnipeg on Thursday for the Moose, as it was revealed that Jets prospect Elias Salomonsson, who played in two elimination games in Round 1, is done for the season after having surgery on his shoulder. He is expected to undergo 5-6 months of rehabilitation. Nikita Chibrikov, who was never sent down by the Jets but remained a possibility for the Moose playoff roster, is also done for the season as he underwent successful core muscle surgery last week and will be sidelined six to eight weeks.
Note II: Another day of practice for the Moose down at hfac and we will have it all covered so stay tuned for the Practice Report ahead of Game 1 which goes on Saturday here in Winnipeg.
Note III: Jets prospect Sascha Boumedienne (2025 1st) had two goals for Sweden including the GWG as they rolled to an 8-1 win over Switzerland, at the Fortuna Hockey Games which is a precursor to the World Championship. Here in North America prospect Edison Engle (2025 6th) with the primary assist to Caleb Malhotra (who could hear his name called by Winnipeg at the upcoming 2026 Draft) as they open the scoring in Game 5.
