Haydn Fleury Hospitalized Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Haydn Fleury (upper body) was hospitalized on Tuesday after he was injured in a matchup against the Vegas Golden Knights. Fleury had to be stretchered off the ice in the first period after Golden Knights forward Keegan Kolesar shoved him, causing him to crash back-first into the boards. On Tuesday, Fleury filled in for Logan Stanley (suspension) in the Jets' defense. He only recently returned from a concussion and could now be looking at another extended spell on the sidelines. Fleury has made 17 appearances this season, recording 26 blocks and 23 hits but no points.

Logan Stanley to Sit Out One Game With Suspension

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Logan Stanley has been suspended for one game for roughing Ottawa Senators forward Brady Tkachuk during Saturday's 4-2 loss. As a result, Stanley will miss Tuesday's game against the Vegas Golden Knights, marking his first absence of the season. He has had a career year offensively, producing 13 points (seven goals, six assists) in 40 appearances. Without the puck, Stanley has logged 43 blocks and 67 hits, giving him fantasy value in some formats. Luke Schenn or Haydn Fleury will take Stanley's spot in the lineup on Tuesday night

Josh Morrissey Expected to Play Monday

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey (undisclosed) is expected to be in the lineup when the team hosts Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers on Monday. He was listed as day-to-day after missing Sunday's practice. Officially, Morrissey is regarded as a game-time decision on Monday. Winnipeg's No. 1 defenseman is currently tied for sixth in scoring among blue-liners, boasting 30 points (six goals, 24 assists) in 36 games. Assuming he plays on Monday, Morrissey will look to record his second three-game point streak of the month. If he suffers a setback, either Haydn Fleury or Connor Miller will take Morrissey's place.

Josh Morrissey Considered Day-to-Day After Missing Practice

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey (undisclosed) didn't practice on Sunday and is considered day-to-day. He was hurt late in Saturday's matchup against the Minnesota Wild on a hit from Wild forward Joel Eriksson Ek. If Morrissey can't shake off the injury prior to Monday's meeting with the Edmonton Oilers, he would miss his first game of the season. Despite the team's struggles, it has been a good year for Morrissey, who has amassed 30 points (six goals, 24 assists), 67 shots, and 68 blocks in 36 games, while logging a plus-nine rating. He averages a team-high 24:20 of ice time, so Morrissey's exit from the lineup would leave a big gap in Winnipeg's defense.

Haydn Fleury Cleared to Play

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Haydn Fleury (concussion) has been cleared for action, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports. He has missed 14 games while dealing with a concussion. The Jets may bring Fleury back into the lineup on Saturday night against the Washington Capitals. Fantasy managers can ignore Fleury due to his limited skill set. In 15 outings this season, Fleury hasn't scored a single point, while blocking 26 shots from the opposition and delivering 20 hits. The 29-year-old may end the calendar year with just a single point in regular-season play -- an assist recorded during a 3-2 overtime victory against the Edmonton Oilers on March 20.

Connor Hellebuyck • G • Jets

Connor Hellebuyck Returns to Practice

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck (knee) was back at practice on Wednesday. He skated for the first time since having knee surgery on Nov. 22. The reigning MVP was ruled out for 4-6 weeks, so he appears to be recovering well and could be back in the net for Winnipeg soon. Hellebuyck carries an 8-6-0 record for the season and has allowed 2.51 goals with a .913 save percentage. Eric Comrie has had a heavy workload recently, but he has won only two of nine starts since the Jets lost Hellebuyck.

Kyle Connor Scores in Fourth Consecutive Game

Winnipeg Jets left wing Kyle Connor scored in a fourth consecutive game as the team returned to winning ways with a 4-1 victory over the Buffalo Sabres on Friday night. Connor opened the scoring in the contest, recording his sixth career goal streak of at least four games. Only Ilya Kovalchuk (17) has managed more such streaks in franchise history. While Winnipeg has struggled to get wins on the board lately, the top line has continued to pick up points for fun. Connor has managed five multi-point efforts in his last 10 appearances, boosting his season total to 34 points (15 goals, 19 assists) over 27 games played.

Neal Pionk • D • Jets

Neal Pionk Returns to Jets Lineup

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Neal Pionk (lower body) will return from a four-game absence on Wednesday against the Montreal Canadiens. He will link up with Dylan Samberg on the second defensive pairing. This season, Pionk has not lived up to fantasy expectations. In 21 outings, he has been limited to five points (one goal, four assists). Additionally, Pionk has logged 43 shots, 36 blocks, and 42 hits. On Wednesday night, Pionk could find some offensive success, as Montreal allows the second-most goals in the league (3.60) and has one of the worst save percentages (.875).

Neal Pionk Remains Out Monday

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Neal Pionk (lower body) will miss a fourth consecutive game on Monday versus the Buffalo Sabres. The Jets lost Pionk to a lower-body injury on Nov. 23 and will be without him for at least one more game. Pionk has registered five points (one goal, four assists), 43 shots, 36 blocks, and 42 hits in 21 outings this season. It's been a down year for Pionk, who has previously been a regular 30-point scorer. Elias Salomonsson and Luke Schenn have received playing opportunities during Pionk's absence. Schenn re-entered the lineup with a two-assist effort on Saturday against the Nashville Predators and is expected to remain on the second defensive pairing on Monday. Meanwhile, Colin Miller will continue to skate with the second power-play unit.

Neal Pionk Sustains Lower-Body Injury Sunday

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Neal Pionk (lower body) won't return to Sunday's contest against the Minnesota Wild. He logged only a couple of minutes of ice time before suffering a lower-body injury. Pionk has played a huge role on the Jets' blue line, averaging a career-high 23:46 of ice time this season. He has registered five points (one goal, four assists), 43 shots, 36 blocks, and 41 hits. If Pionk has to miss time, the Jets will likely bring Luke Schenn back into the lineup. Schenn has minimal fantasy value due to his limited offensive skills.

Gabriel Vilardi • RW • Jets

Gabriel Vilardi Has Two Goals in Losing Effort

Winnipeg Jets forward Gabriel Vilardi scored two goals in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Vilardi's power-play goal in the first period put Winnipeg 2-1 up, but the Jets couldn't handle the Hurricanes on home ice. Early in the third period, Vilardi potted the game's final goal. Vilardi is an attractive fantasy piece as Kyle Connor's and Mark Scheifele's companion on the first line and the top power-play unit. However, he has had a limited impact in recent weeks, finishing scoreless in six of his last eight appearances. Before the slump, Vilardi was performing very well, providing hope for fantasy managers that he could soon regain his scoring touch. For the season, Vilardi has amassed 16 points (eight goals, eight assists) in 20 games.

Connor Hellebuyck • G • Jets

Connor Hellebuyck to Miss 4-6 Weeks

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck (knee) will be out for 4-6 weeks. He is set to undergo a minor arthroscopic procedure on his knee. According to ESPN's Greg Wyshynski, Hellebuyck has been dealing with the knee issue since training camp. The 2025 MVP has an 8-6-0 record this campaign, allowing 2.51 goals with a .913 save percentage. With Hellbuyck potentially out until 2026, Eric Comrie's fantasy stock gets a big boost. He will take over the crease on Friday night against the Carolina Hurricanes, entering the matchup with a 4-1-0 record, a 2.60 goals-against average, and a .908 save percentage.

Adam Lowry Inks Extension With Jets

Winnipeg Jets center Adam Lowry has signed a five-year, $25 million contract extension. He is currently on an expiring deal that has a $3.25 million cap hit. Lowry has spent his entire 12-year NHL career with the Jets, becoming the team captain in 2023. He missed the first 12 games this season following offseason hip surgery. In seven outings, Lowry has recorded three points (one goal, two assists), 10 shots, nine blocks, and 16 hits with a plus-four rating. While Lowry doesn't have a lot of fantasy value, he has been an important piece for the Jets roster and will continue to be for several more years.

Dylan Samberg Makes Season Debut Thursday

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Dylan Samberg (wrist) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is poised to make his season debut in Thursday's matchup against the Seattle Kraken. The 26-year-old has been out so far due to a broken wrist suffered during the preseason. A season ago, Samberg made big strides and finished the campaign with 20 points (six goals, 14 assists), 95 shots, 120 blocks, and a very impressive plus-34 rating in 60 games. Samberg makes a timely return, as the Jets have just lost Haydn Fleury (concussion) from their defense. He will be partnered with Neal Pionk, which will push Luke Schenn out of the lineup on Thursday.

Cole Perfetti in Line for Season Debut Sunday

Winnipeg Jets forward Cole Perfetti (ankle) has been activated from Injured Reserve and is expected to make his season debut on Sunday night against the Anaheim Ducks. He has missed Winnipeg's first 14 games due to an ankle injury suffered in the team's preseason finale. Perfetti will grab a second-line spot and roll with the first power-play unit. As a result, Alex Iafallo will be shifted to the third line. In 2024-25, Perfetti had the best campaign of his young career, registering 50 points (18 goals, 32 assists) in 82 games. Cole Koepke will make way for Perfetti in the lineup.

Gustav Nyquist • C • Jets

Gustav Nyquist Expected to Remain Out Friday

Winnipeg Jets winger Gustav Nyquist (undisclosed) skated in a non-contact jersey during the morning skate but is expected to remain out for Friday's meeting with the San Jose Sharks. Due to an unspecified health issue, Nyquist is forced to skip a third straight game. The Swedish veteran has tallied five assists in 11 games this season. With Nyquist sidelined, Nikita Chibrikov may return to the lineup for Friday's matchup. The Russian forward has been a healthy scratch so far in November after failing to score in his first five appearances of the season.

Jets Move Gustav Nyquist to Injured Reserve

Winnipeg Jets winger Gustav Nyquist (undisclosed) was moved to Injured Reserve on Tuesday and will miss a second consecutive contest against the Los Angeles Kings. The Swedish forward remains day-to-day, but it's uncertain when he can return. Through his first 11 outings in Winnipeg, Nyquist has recorded five assists. His exit from the lineup has given Alex Iafallo a chance to settle into a second-line role. Iafallo registered an assist in Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Penguins, but he hasn't been consistent offensively. In 12 outings this season, Iafallo has contributed two goals and three assists.

Morgan Barron Out Week-to-Week

Winnipeg Jets center Morgan Barron (undisclosed) is considered week-to-week. He suffered an undisclosed injury in Saturday's win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. Barron didn't practice on Monday and will miss his first game of the season on Tuesday night when the Jets visit the Los Angeles Kings. While his main strength is his physical play, Barron has improved offensively this season, registering six points (three goals, three assists) in 12 games. He ranks fifth on the team with 20 hits. Barron's exit from the lineup opens up a spot for Adam Lowry (hip), who is expected to make his season debut against the Kings.

Adam Lowry Ready for Season Debut Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets center Adam Lowry (hip) will make his season debut in Tuesday's matchup against the Los Angeles Kings. He's had a long road to recovery after undergoing hip surgery in May. Lowry is expected to enter the lineup as the third-line center. However, if he performs well enough, it's reasonable to think that Winnipeg might consider moving him to the second line to replace Jonathan Toews. Lowry has been a regular 30-point scorer in recent years and finished last season with a career-high 16 goals. The Jets captain is set to take Morgan Barron's (undisclosed) spot in the lineup after he was hurt in Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Gustav Nyquist Ruled Out for Saturday

Winnipeg Jets winger Gustav Nyquist (undisclosed) won't play on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins and is considered day-to-day, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports. The Swedish veteran suffered an undisclosed injury early in Thursday's matchup against the Chicago Blackhawks. It seems like this isn't seen as a serious issue, and there's a chance Nyquist will be in contention to rejoin the lineup early next week. In his first 11 games as a Jet, Nyquist has registered five assists. He's been short of puck luck, going goalless with 14 attempts on the net. Tanner Pearson is set to fill Nyquist's spot on the third line in Saturday's game, while Brad Lambert will re-enter the lineup on the fourth line.
