From the team today here is the Jets 23-man roster:

Jets roster (23):

Goalies (2): Connor Hellebuyck and David Rittich

Defencemen (8): Josh Morrissey, Brenden Dillon, Dylan DeMelo, Neal Pionk, Nate Schmidt, Logan Stanley, Dylan Samberg and Kyle Capobianco.

Forwards (13): Mark Scheifele, Cole Perfetti, Nikolaj Ehlers, Pierre-Luc Dubois, Kyle Connor, Blake Wheeler, Adam Lowry, Mason Appleton, Sam Gagner, Morgan Barron, Dominic Toninato, David Gustafsson and Saku Maenalanen.

As per the folks at Capfriendly here is how it stands for Winnipeg:

Cap Hit: $79,157,857

Cap Space: $3,342,143

Worth noting the Jets technically have 24 when they claimed Axel Jonsson-Fjallby from the Caps on Monday but he is currently awaiting a work visa.

They’ll still need to make one more move when that happens.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
