Comrie turned aside 29 shots in regulation and overtime and two of three shootout attempts in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Canadiens.
Cole Caufield beat him through the five-hole to open the shootout, and while Comrie shut down Montreal's last two shooters, Winnipeg's three skaters couldn't get a puck past Jakub Dobes. Comrie has been shouldering a heavy workload while Connor Hellebuyck (knee) has been on the shelf, going 2-4-1 with seven outings with a lackluster 3.14 GAA and .891 save percentage, but so far the Jets have only called upon Thomas Milic when playing a back-to-back.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Set to start in Montreal
Rotowire
Comrie will protect the road goal versus the Canadiens on Wednesday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Comrie is set to get a chance to redeem himself after giving up three goals on 14 shots in his start versus the Sabres on Monday. Things haven't gone very well for Comrie as the Jets' primary starter lately -- he's 2-4-0 with 18 goals allowed over his last six outings. The Canadiens are in the second half of a back-to-back Wednesday, which may give Comrie a bit of relief.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Pulled after first period
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 11 of 14 shots in Monday's 5-1 loss to the Sabres.
Comrie allowed three goals inside the first 15 minutes of regulation before the Jets subbed in Thomas Milic for the rest of the contest. With the loss, Comrie now has a 5-5-0 record with a 3.12 GAA and an .893 save percentage through 10 games this season. Since the reigning winner of the Hart and Vezina trophies, Connor Hellebuyck, went down due to a knee injury, Comrie has a 1-4-0 record with a 3.74 GAA and an .877 save percentage across five starts. While he's seeing the busiest workload of his career because of Hellebuyck's absence, Comrie is an inconsistent spot start in fantasy until the Jets get back on track as a team. Comrie's next chance to start is Wednesday in Montreal.

Comrie will occupy the road crease Monday against the Sabres, per Heather Engel of NHL.com.
Comrie got back into the win column Saturday in Nashville following a three-game losing streak, turning aside 20 of 22 shots in a 5-2 win. The 30-year-old netminder is 1-3-0 with a 3.29 GAA and an .887 save percentage over four starts since taking over the No. 1 job due to Connor Hellebuyck (knee) being sidelined. The Sabres are 3-2-0 in their last five games and are coming off a 3-2 shootout win over the Wild on Saturday.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Snaps losing streak Saturday
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 20 of 22 shots in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.
Comrie was coming off three straight losses, but it seems he needed a break. After sitting on the bench in a 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes on Friday, Comrie responded with one of his best performances of the campaign en route to a comfortable win over the Predators. The matchup was a favorable one on paper, but this should be a huge confidence booster for the 30-year-old netminder. Expect Comrie to remain as the Jets' starting goaltender as long as Connor Hellebuyck (knee) remains out.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Takes third straight loss
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 30 shots in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Capitals.
It was another mediocre performance from Comrie, who is quickly buckling under the strain of replacing Connor Hellebuyck (knee). Comrie has lost three straight starts, giving up 11 goals on 92 shots (.880 save percentage) during that swoon. The Jets may have little choice but to see whether 22-year-old Thomas Milic, a fifth-round pick in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft who has yet to make his NHL debut, is ready for the spotlight.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Makes 27 saves in defeat
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 27 of 30 shots in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Wild.
Comrie started for a third straight game due to the absence of Connor Hellebuyck (knee), and once again, the results weren't encouraging. He's gone 1-2-0 with a 3.02 GAA and an .887 save percentage in his three starts since Hellebuyck went down. Expect him to remain as the Jets' No. 1 goaltender until Hellebuyck is ready to return, which is not expected to occur for at least four to six weeks at a minimum.

Comrie will patrol the home crease against Minnesota on Sunday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Comrie is coming off a 24-save effort in Friday's 4-3 loss to Carolina. He has a 4-2-0 record while allowing 17 goals on 169 shots through six appearances this season. Comrie will see plenty of action due to the absence of Connor Hellebuyck (knee). Minnesota sits 25th in the league with 2.86 goals per game this campaign.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Falters in home loss
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 24 of 28 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Comrie's first task as the temporary starter for the Jets was a tough one, and he wasn't quite up to the challenge. Jordan Staal scored twice, while Seth Jarvis had a shorthanded goal and Andrei Svechnikov struck on the power play to send Comrie to just his second loss in six outings this season. He's at 4-2-0 with a 2.84 GAA and an .899 save percentage over six starts. The 30-year-old is set to see a majority of the action between the pipes while Connor Hellebuyck (knee) will be out until the latter half of December at best. The Jets' next game is at home versus the Wild on Sunday.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Can't stop quack attack
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 17 of 21 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to the Ducks.
Beckett Sennecke scored twice at even strength and Leo Carlsson had two power-play goals to account for the damage on Comrie's line. This was Comrie's first loss and worst game in four starts this season. He still maintains a .908 save percentage despite Sunday's setback. The 30-year-old won't see much playing time as Connor Hellebuyck's backup -- look for Hellebuyck to try to get the Jets back on track when they visit the Canucks on Tuesday.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Has difficult task Sunday
Rotowire
Comrie will defend the visiting crease Sunday against the Ducks, according to Derek Lee of The Hockey News.
Comrie is a perfect 3-0-0 to start the year, posting a 2.33 GAA and .929 save percentage across three appearances. The 30-year-old will have an extremely tough task attempting to slow down a red-hot Anaheim club -- the Ducks have won six straight games, a stretch in which they have found the back of the net 29 times. The Jets have the rest advantage Sunday, as they last played Friday, while Anaheim came out with a road win versus the Golden Knights on Saturday.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Comrie will patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh on Saturday, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.
Comrie has a 2-0-0 record this season while turning aside 63 of the 68 shots he has faced. He likely won't play much behind Connor Hellebuyck this campaign, but Comrie has been a decent backup for the team over the years. Pittsburgh has scored 3.67 goals per game in 2025-26, ranking fourth in the league.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Expected to start Friday
Rotowire
Comrie is expected to start at home against the Flames on Friday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
The Jets are playing the second half of a back-to-back set Friday, and Comrie is slated to make his second start of the year after Connor Hellebuyck started against Seattle on Thursday. Comrie was effective in his season debut against the Islanders on Oct. 13, turning aside 33 of 35 shots (.943 save percentage) in a 5-2 victory.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Picks up first win Monday
Rotowire
Comrie made 33 of 35 saves in Monday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
Comrie posted a clean first period before allowing two goals in the second frame to New York's Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Emil Heineman. By the time of Heineman's goal, however, the Jets had a commanding 4-2 lead and Comrie was able to coast through the final period. With his first win of the season under his belt, the 30-year-old netminder is set to maintain his role as the primary backup to reigning Hart and Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck. Despite his anticipated limit of starting opportunities this season, Comrie is a solid streaming option in all fantasy formats whenever he's set to guard Winnipeg's crease. He will likely step in for Hellebuyck during consecutive game nights, but could draw certain spot starts depending on the matchup and Hellebuyck's availability.

Jets' Eric Comrie: First off at morning skate
Rotowire
Comrie is slated to draw the home start in Tuesday's preseason game versus Edmonton, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Comrie heads into the 2025-26 campaign locked in as the No. 2 option between the pipes behind Connor Hellebuyck for the second time in the last four years. The 30-year-old Comrie was a serviceable backup option in 2024-25, as he posted a 2.39 GAA and a .914 save percentage, but he wasn't provided with much support -- he had a 9-10-1 record over 20 regular-season appearances.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Plays third period again Friday
Rotowire
Comrie stopped all four shots he faced in relief of Connor Hellebuyck in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Blues in Game 6.
This was Comrie's third relief appearance in the postseason. He's allowed just one goal on 13 shots over those three outings, which total 42:59 of ice time. Hellebuyck's ongoing road struggles have taken the headlines in the first round, but there's virtually no chance the Jets will turn to Comrie for Game 7 on Sunday in Winnipeg.

Comrie posted a 26-save shutout in his last start against the Golden Knights on April 3. The 29-year-old has a 9-9-1 record, 2.36 GAA and .914 save percentage over 19 appearances this season.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Stellar in shutout win
Rotowire
Comrie posted a 26-save shutout in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Comrie gave Connor Hellebuyck a breather in a tough locale and then proceeded to steal the show. This was the fourth shutout of Comrie's career, two of which have come this season as he continues to play well in the backup role for the Jets. The 29-year-old is now 9-9-1 with a 2.36 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 19 appearances, which matches his career high. He'll likely get another start or two over the Jets' final six regular-season games to help keep Hellebuyck fresh for the playoffs. He needs one more appearance and two more wins to set career highs in each category.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Expected to start Thursday
Rotowire
Comrie is set to start on the road against Vegas on Thursday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Comrie has an 8-9-1 record, 2.49 GAA and .909 save percentage across 18 appearances in 2024-25. He's used primarily when Winnipeg wants to give Connor Hellebuyck a breather, and Comrie consequently appeared in just three March games. The 29-year-old Comrie is drawing a tough assignment against the Golden Knights, who rank fifth in the NHL in goals per game with 3.39.
