Jaret Anderson-Dolan Recovering From A Broken Foot

Winnipeg Jets center Jaret Anderson-Dolan is recovering from a broken foot. Jets head coach Scott Arniel revealed the news on Tuesday. The 25-year-old was placed on Injured Reserve last week with an undisclosed injury, and now we know the exact nature of the ailment. This also means that Anderson-Dolan won't make his season debut anytime soon. "We're not even close on that one yet," Arniel said regarding Anderson-Dolan. Even when he's ready to return, the Calgary-born forward likely won't play a large role with the Jets. Following stints with the Los Angeles Kings and Nashville Predators, Anderson-Dolan sits on 28 points (15 goals, 13 assists) through 127 career games.

Kyle Connor Gives Jets Another Overtime Victory

Winnipeg Jets left wing Kyle Connor delivered the game-winning goal in Sunday's 2-1 overtime victory against Minnesota. He struck his second goal of the year at the 0:51 mark in the extra frame after Winnipeg had opened overtime with a power play. It took eight shots on goal for Connor to finally light the lamp. The 27-year-old had twice as many shots on Sunday than he had managed in his first two outings of the season. It's been a good start to the year for Connor, who has kicked off the campaign with a three-game point streak. Both of Connor's goals have come in power-play situations, and he boasts one even-strength assist.

Mark Scheifele Reaches 300 Career Goals

Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele potted two goals to hit 300 markers for his career in Friday's 2-1 overtime victory against Chicago. The Jets were heading towards a shock defeat in front of their fans before Scheifele managed to extend the game with his first tally with 1:04 remaining in regulation, and he ended the contest with 38 seconds played in overtime. Scheifele became the second player from the 2011 draft class to score 300 career goals, joining Tampa Bay's Nikita Kucherov (323). The Jets forward also had a goal and two points in Wednesday's season-opening 6-0 win over Edmonton, so fantasy managers must be very pleased with Scheifele's start to the year. Scheifele faces Minnesota next, looking to post his longest goal streak since scoring in the first three games last season.

Connor Hellebuyck Nullifies Oilers In Season-Opening Win

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck played a perfect game in the crease in Wednesday's season opener, keeping Edmonton's high-octane offense at bay with 30 saves in a 6-0 road win. The reigning Vezina Trophy winner became the first goalie in franchise history to post a shutout in a season-opening game. It was a fantastic year for Hellebuyck in 2023-24, and his effort on Wednesday shows that he's ready to repeat his success in the new campaign. Hellebuyck will face the Blackhawks next on Friday night.

Connor Hellebuyck Expected To Start On Wednesday

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck (personal) is expected to be good to go for Wednesday's season opener against Edmonton. Hellebuyck was away from the team on Monday due to personal reasons. However, he will take part in Wednesday's morning skate and should be ready to face the Oilers. Meetings with the high-scoring Oilers can be very rough outings for goaltenders, but Hellebuyck went 1-1-1 in the matchup last season, allowing more than two goals in only one of the games. He carries a 13-13-3 career record against Edmonton.

Logan Stanley To Miss At Least Four Weeks Following Knee Surgery

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Logan Stanley is scheduled for knee surgery, taking him out of the lineup for at least four weeks. The towering rearguard got hurt during the warm-up ahead of Wednesday's preseason game against Edmonton. Stanley featured only 25 times for the team in 2023-24, but Jets head coach Scott Arniel had a significant role planned for him this season. "He was going to be one of the fixtures in our group. He also has that size and physicality that we need, so it's a big hit for us and I just hope he gets recovered and gets himself back as soon as possible," Arniel said. The Jets backline has also lost Ville Heinola (ankle) for a minimum of four weeks.

Ville Heinola To Miss At Least Four Weeks Following Surgery

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Ville Heinola (ankle) will be out for a minimum of four weeks after undergoing surgery. Heinola has been battling an ankle infection. Jets head coach Scott Arniel revealed on Thursday that Heinola had a pin removed from his ankle, which was surgically repaired last season. Heinola didn't make a single NHL appearance in 2023-24 but suited up for 41 AHL games after making his season debut in January. He finished with 10 goals and 27 points. The 23-year-old would add some quality to the Jets defense, but unfortunately, we won't see him for a while. Fellow blue-liners Logan Stanley and Dylan Samberg are currently also battling health issues, but according to Arniel, neither player is dealing with anything serious.

Cole Perfetti Re-Signs With Jets For Two Years

Winnipeg Jets winger Cole Perfetti has inked a two-year, $6.5 million extension with the team. The two parties came to an agreement on a bridge deal that will carry a $3.25 million cap hit. Perfetti was a restricted free agent and missed the start of training camp because he wasn't under contract for 2024-25. The 22-year-old has skated in 140 games with the Jets, recording 29 goals and 75 points. Following a solid rookie campaign, his production went down in 2023-24, as he settled for 38 points (19 goals, 19 assists) in 71 appearances. However, Perfetti should now have all the motivation in the world to perform well, as he will need to be at his best to earn a lucrative long-term contract.

Ville Heinola Might Miss Extended Time Due To Ankle Issue

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Ville Heinola (ankle) is in danger of missing significant time due to an infection in his surgically repaired ankle. Heinola broke his ankle in the team's final preseason game a year ago. The 23-year-old missed the entire 2023-24 campaign, and it looks like Heinola could be absent for a large chunk of 2024-25 as well. Heinola made his NHL debut in 2020-21 after being the 20th pick in the 2019 draft. He has skated in 35 regular-season contests, registering one goal and 10 assists.

Laurent Brossoit, Maple Leafs Have "Mutual Interest"

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Laurent Brossoit could move across Canada this offseason as a free agent. According to James Mirtle of The Athletic, there is "mutual interest" between Brossoit and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Toronto had a turbulent season between the sticks and is expected to part ways with Ilya Samsonov, who is also heading toward free agency. Brossoit, who is coming off a one-year, $1.75 million deal, has performed well as Connor Hellebuyck's backup in Winnipeg. He posted a 15-5-2 record in 2023-24 with three shutouts and allowed 2.00 goals with a .927 save percentage. The 31-year-old carries a 64-46-13 career record.

Nikolaj Ehlers Reportedly Ready To Move On From Winnipeg

Winnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers looks set to move elsewhere for the 2024-25 campaign. Sources have told NHL insider David Pagnotta that Ehlers isn't interested in signing an extension with the Jets. He has one more season to go on a seven-year, $42 million pact. Ehlers' contract includes a 10-team no-trade list. The 28-year-old enjoyed his third 60-point campaign in 2023-24 with 25 goals and 36 assists in 82 outings. With 457 points (201 goals, 256 assists) earned in 605 career games, Ehlers has proven himself as a regular scorer in the league and should draw quite a bit of interest on the trade market.

Jets Determined To Retain Sean Monahan

Winnipeg Jets center Sean Monahan won't be going anywhere this offseason if the team has its way. According to Ken Wiebe and Mike McIntyre of The Winnipeg Free Press, there appears to be a "full-court press" from the Jets to retain Monahan, who is coming off a one-year, $2 million deal. Winnipeg acquired Monahan from Montreal in February, and the 29-year-old had a productive spell as the second-line center, posting 24 points (13 goals, 11 assists) in 34 games with the team. Monahan also managed to prove his health in 2023-24, featuring in 83 regular-season contests across two teams. He registered 59 points (26 goals, 23 assists) overall.

Cole Perfetti To Make NHL Postseason Debut Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets forward Cole Perfetti will enter the lineup and make his NHL postseason debut on Tuesday in Game 5 against the Colorado Avalanche. He will take the roster spot of Vladislav Namestnikov who will miss the game with a fractured cheekbone suffered in Game 4 in Colorado on Saturday. "Obviously, I've wanted to play in the "Whiteout" for a while, and now I'm getting the chance to do that in a huge game," Perfetti said. "It's going to be a lot of fun and I'm just looking forward to it and I'm just going to try and enjoy it and play my game and probably just soak it all in. It's going to be fun." The 22-year-old tallied 19 goals and 38 points on 142 shots on goal across 71 games during the regular season. The Jets need a win on Tuesday to avoid elimination.

Connor Hellebuyck Looking To Get Right Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will be looking to get back on the right track in Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Colorado Avalanche. It's been a struggle for the Vezina Trophy finalist in the series as Hellebuyck has allowed 19 goals through the first four games of the series, turning in an .870 save percentage in that time while dropping three straight games. Despite taking on the league's No. 1-ranked regular-season offense, Hellebuyck's struggles remain a surprise considering he posted a 2.39 goals-against average and a .921 save percentage across 60 games. The Jets need a win on Tuesday to avoid elimination.

Brenden Dillon, Vladislav Namestnikov Out Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Brenden Dillon (hand) and forward Vladislav Namestnikov (cheekbone) will both be out for Tuesday's Game 5 versus the Colorado Avalanche. Dillon suffered a lacerated hand in an altercation in Game 3 while Namestnikov was struck in the face by a deflected Nate Schmidt point shot in Game 4 in Colorado on Sunday. Defenseman Colin Miller, acquired in a trade with the Devils on March 8, will make his series debut in Dillon's absence while Cole Perfetti will make his NHL postseason debut in place of Namestnikov. The Jets need a win on Tuesday to avoid elimination.

Connor Hellebuyck Struggles Again Sunday

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck struggled once again as part of a 5-1 loss in Game 4 of the team's first-round series against the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday. The veteran allowed four goals on 30 shots (.867 save percentage) and was pulled late in the game in favor of backup Laurent Brossoit. With the effort, the American has now allowed 19 shots over the first four games of the series, posting an .870 Sv% in the process. While the Avalanche led the NHL with 3.68 goals per game this season, Hellebuyck's poor postseason remains a surprise considering he posted a 2.39 goals-against average and a .921 Sv% across 60 games in the regular season. The Jets need a win on home ice in Game 5 on Tuesday to avoid elimination.

Vladislav Namestnikov Takes Puck To The Head Sunday

Winnipeg Jets forward Vladislav Namestnikov is being treated at the hospital after taking a deflected slap shot off the head during Sunday's Game 4 5-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche. Namestnikov needed assistance getting off the ice midway through the third period and, of course, did not return to the game. The veteran has one goal through the first four games of the postseason after tallying 11 goals and 37 points on 95 shots on goal across 78 regular-season contests. The Jets are now on the brink of elimination, trailing 3-1 in the series ahead of Game 5 on Tuesday.

Brenden Dillon Suffers Hand Injury After Final Whistle

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Brenden Dillon (hand) suffered an injury after the final whistle in Game 3 of their first-round series against the Colorado Avalanche on Friday. The two teams got into a massive scrum after the Avs beat the Jets 6-2 to go up 2-1 in the series, and Dillon appeared to cut his hand badly during the fracas. Head coach Rick Bowness didn't have an update on the veteran defender after the game, but if he unable to go in Game 4 it would not be a surprise.

Nino Niederreiter Could Return Tuesday

Winnipeg Jets forward Nino Niederreiter (leg) could return to the lineup when the club hosts the Seattle Kraken on Tuesday. The Swiss winger has been sidelined since April 1 when he suffered a deep cut on his lower leg against the Los Angeles Kings. "It was kind of a scary play," the veteran said. "I felt something in my leg, but I didn't know exactly what it was, so I reached down a couple times and felt some blood. It started getting warm." Niederreiter added that his Achilles was nicked, as well. The 31-year-old has recorded 18 goals and 33 points across 75 games on the season, adding 114 hits and 34 penalty minutes to his resume. The Jets enter Tuesday's action sitting second in the Central Division, one point ahead of the Colorado Avalanche with one game in hand.

Laurent Brossoit Shuts Out Stars With 24 Saves

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Laurent Brossoit recorded an impressive 24-save shutout against the Western Conference-leading Dallas Stars on Thursday, backstopping his squad to a 3-0 road win.

The 31-year-old has filled in for Winnipeg's No. 1 admirably all season, posting a 14-5-2 record with a 2.00 goals-against average and a .928 save percentage. Brossoit has had three shutouts in total for the campaign, which have all come in his last five starts.
