Note: The Jets held a practice on Friday as they look to extend their winning streak to six games when they face the Blackhawks this afternoon. With no morning skate for Winnipeg, stay tuned for the pre-game report for all the latest. We already know Isak Rosén won’t play after getting banged up, meaning Nino Niederreiter draws back in for the first time in 11 days. On defence, expect Haydn Fleury to replace the injured Dylan DeMelo despite the recall of Henry Thrun from the AHL. There was some positive news as well, with head coach Scott Arniel confirming Elias Salomonsson is skating back in Winnipeg and should rejoin the group soon.

Note IV: The Moose practiced yesterday and got some good news as Ashton Sautner and Noah Gregor took part as full participants according to play-by-play voice Daniel Fink. We shall have to wait and see how many guys return to the lineup tonight when they take on the IceHogs in Rockford. Puck drop is at 8 PM.
Note V: A good night for three Jets prospects in the NCAA. Zach Wooten (2026 4th) scored his fourth goal and added an assist for No. 1 Wisconsin, giving him 4G and 5A in nine games, including three game-winners. Zach Nehring (2023 3rd) was credited with the game-winner for Western Michigan, bringing him to 3G and 2A in ten games. Meanwhile, Jack Parsons (2026 7th) made 21 saves for Providence, improving to 6-2-0 with a 1.87 GAA and .932 save percentage. He was also named Hockey East Goaltender of the Month for October.

Jets news:
Winnipeg Sun: Jets lose DeMelo, keep foot on gas for Blackhawks. Next man up mentality.
Winnipeg Free Press: Jets five-game win streak built through depth. (Paywall). It was exactly what was lacking from this team for so long. But they’ve seemingly flipped a switch and are now getting production up and down the lineup.
