Latest from day 15 of the Winnipeg Jets training camp

The Jets are coming off a tidy 5-2 win over the Flames last night as they slowly get closer to wrapping up training camp. They have one more game in Calgary and then they will have to submit their roster by Sunday.

Might they make more cuts today or tomorrow or might they wait until after the game on Friday to see if they have any healthy issues and don’t want to risk losing any players on waivers. As it is we are awaiting a health update on David Gustafsson who left the game last night in the 2nd period after getting taken hard into the boards.

Third round of cuts:

Before skate got underway the Jets announced they had reduced their roster by seven players. Four of whom (Lundmark, AJF, Shaw & Toninato) will need to clear waivers and three of whom (Milic, Bauer & Kuzmin) are assigned directly.

Skate news:

According to Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun no David Gustafsson and also missing today is Jaret Anderson-Dolan. He also provides the lines and D pairs from today’s skate.

Lines and D pairs:

Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi
Perfetti-Namestnikov-Ehlers
Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton
Barron-Kupari-Iafallo

Morrissey-DeMelo
Samberg-Pionk
Fleury-Miller
Salomonsson-Coghlan

Injury updates:

On Gustafsson, Scott Arniel provided an update indicating:

“Gus, actually good news. He’ll be OK. We’ll go day-to-day on him. See where he’s at each day.”

On Jaret Anderson-Dolan he said:

”JAD. He got hit with a shot there. I think it was on the penalty kill or five-on-five. He got hit. Pretty sore, swollen up today.”

The Jets bench boss said more than likely both players will be out for the final pre-season game tomorrow night in Calgary although he added “we’ll see if they skate in the morning”.

Up next:

They are set to skate at hockey for all centre at 10 AM tomorrow before the game group takes off for Calgary where they will face the Flames at 8 PM CT.
