Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets skated on Saturday with the exception of Mark Scheifele (maintenance) and Haydn Fleury (concussion) as they got set for today’s afternoon game against the Wild. With it being an earlier game there is no morning skate but stay tuned for the pre-game report to ensure you’re up-to-date on the latest. Puck drop is at 3 PM CST.

Note II: This evening, after the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and Minnesota, we want you to be part of the conversation on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show as we discuss and analyze the results of the game starting around 5:40 PM CST.

Note III: The Moose continued to roll on Saturday picking up their sixth straight victory defeating the Wolves 3-2. They built themselves a 3-0 lead and held on for the victory. They are off today but will be back on the ice on Monday as they get set for the Belleville Senators on Tuesday morning and Wednesday night.

Note IV: Pair of prospects produced for their teams last night. In the OHL it was Kevin He (2024 4th) who had one goal and one assist for Niagara while in the WHL it was Owen Martin (2025 3rd) who had the game-winning goal in OT for Spokane.

TSN: How can Winnipeg Jets avoid letdown after Connor Hellebuyck injury news? Cameron Gaunce joined That’s Hockey to explain what could be going on in the Jets’ room after finding out that Connor Hellebuyck will be gone four-to-six-weeks, how Winnipeg’s opponents will prepare knowing they’re missing their best player, and if the Jets have enough to make it through the next month and a half without Hellebuyck.

Illegal Curve Hockey Show: Saturday Podcast. We spent most of our Friday special edition show discussing the Jets shutting down Connor Hellebuyck for minor arthroscopic knee procedure (expected out 4-6 weeks) which you can find here. So on yesterday’s show we covered the Jets/Hurricanes game with return of Nikolaj Ehlers, the five-year contract extension for Adam Lowry, as well as the news that prospect Brad Lambert might be searching for greener pastures.
