Neal Pionk Records Three Assists In Historic Win

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Neal Pionk came away with three assists as the team beat the Rangers 6-3 on Tuesday, becoming the first side in NHL history to win 15 of its first 16 games in a season. Pionk has been an integral part of the success, totaling 17 points (three goals, 14 assists) in 16 games. This puts him tied with teammate Josh Morrissey for the second-most points among all blue-liners. The two have feasted at the back despite skating on different defensive pairings and power-play units. Pionk doesn't shy away from the dirty work either, having registered 28 blocks and 21 hits for the campaign.

Connor Hellebuyck Posts 40th Career Shutout

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck recorded his 40th career shutout as the team beat Colorado 1-0 on Thursday. Hellebuyck became the sixth American goalie with at least 40 shutouts in league history with a 35-save effort. The Avalanche entered the contest having scored multiple goals in each of their 13 games so far this season. Hellebuyck has looked almost superhuman at times in 2024-25, logging a 10-1-0 record with a league-high three shutouts. He has allowed 1.91 goals while registering a .932 save percentage. Another tough divisional rival awaits Hellebuyck next as the Jets host Dallas on Saturday. Hellebuyck lost all three starts in the matchup last season, allowing eight goals.

Winnipeg Jets left wing Nikolaj Ehlers had a field day against the Blue Jackets on Friday, completing a 6-2 road victory with his fifth career hat trick and four points. He picked up all three goals in even-strength situations and had his assist with the man advantage. Ehlers can be very happy with the work he's done so far this season. With 11 games played, the Danish winger has tallied seven goals and 15 points. He's one of six players with at least seven goals and seven assists through the early parts of the 2024-25 campaign.

Eric Comrie Faces Blue Jackets Friday

Winnipeg Jets goaltender Eric Comrie will guard the crease in Friday's matchup against Columbus. The 29-year-old gets his third start of the campaign. He has previously beaten Pittsburgh and Calgary in high-scoring games, allowing three goals on both occasions. Comrie has saved 65 of 71 shots to register a solid .915 save percentage. The Jets have dropped only one game so far and are expected to cruise past the hosts on Friday. However, the Blue Jackets are riding a bit of momentum with three wins in four games and boast a hot goalie in Elvis Merzlikins, who has allowed only one goal across his last two starts.

Kyle Connor Totals Four Points Versus Toronto

Winnipeg Jets left wing Kyle Connor registered a third consecutive multi-point outing in Monday's 6-4 loss to Toronto. He had a hand in all of the team's goals, posting a pair of power-play tallies and delivering two assists. Connor extended his season-opening point streak to nine games, breaking Blake Wheeler's franchise record. He has totaled eight goals and six assists during the very productive start. Connor faces his home state Red Wings in the next matchup. The Jets winger has averaged over a point per game against Detroit in his career, recording seven goals and six assists in 12 games.

Kyle Connor Looks To Match Career-Best Goal Streak On Thursday

Winnipeg Jets left wing Kyle Connor has tallied five goals and one assist in six games during a fruitful start to the season. He has a chance to match a career high by scoring in a fifth consecutive game on Thursday versus Seattle. Connor has formed a dangerous one-two punch with Mark Scheifele on Winnipeg's top line. Scheifele also has five goals already and sits on eight points. The two get a good matchup to do further damage on Thursday, as the Kraken carry a lowly .897 save percentage. Connor boasts seven goals and 12 points in nine career appearances versus Seattle.

Josh Morrissey Extends Season-Opening Point Streak With Two Assists

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Josh Morrissey kept his season-opening point streak going with a pair of assists in Sunday's 6-3 triumph over Pittsburgh. He had both of his helpers in the third period when the Jets turned a 3-3 tie into a comfortable win. Morrissey made a big impact defensively as well, blocking a game-high five shots with one hit. He now boasts seven points (one goal, six assists) through five games, sitting tied for second on the defensemen scoring list. Morrissey faces St. Louis next on Tuesday night in a matchup where he has posted back-to-back two-assist games.

Neal Pionk Has Career Night With Four Points

Winnipeg Jets defenseman Neal Pionk had the first four-point outing of his career on Friday, finishing an 8-3 victory over San Jose with a goal and three assists. Pionk closed out a four-goal first period for the Jets with a power-play goal and had two points with the man advantage overall. He was plus-two for the game and registered two shots with one hit in 19:20 of ice time. The 29-year-old now boasts five points (one goal, four assists) in four games for the season, working on the second defensive pairing and the second power-play unit. He offers solid production across all categories and benefits from playing on a hot team that's 4-0-0 to start the season.

Cole Perfetti Picks Up Four Points Versus Sharks

Winnipeg Jets forward Cole Perfetti recorded a career-high four points in Friday's 8-3 victory over San Jose. He tallied two goals and two assists, with half of his points coming on the power play. The 22-year-old led all skaters with a plus-four rating and tied a game-high with five shots. Perfetti entered Friday's contest with zero points and six shots on his name through three games, so this should be a good confidence booster for him. Winnipeg's second line was buzzing all night, combining for 11 points, and they have a chance to keep the momentum going on Sunday versus the Penguins, who allow 4.17 goals per game.

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.
