Comrie made 21 saves in a 4-1 win over Philadelphia on Thursday.
He came within 2:42 of his second shutout of the season. Comrie is 4-1-0 with one shutout and just eight goals allowed in his last five games. He's a strong spot start option for the rest of the season. Connor Hellebuyck needs to be strong for the postseason, something he wasn't last year. So, Comrie will step into the blue paint for Winnipeg a bit more often as the regular season winds down.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Steady in loss
Rotowire
Comrie allowed two goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Predators.
Comrie's three-game winning streak came to a close. This was the first time since Jan. 10-11 that the Jets have been involved in a back-to-back -- Comrie's last four starts (3-1-0) came with at least a day between games. The 29-year-old netminder has done alright in a light-duty backup role, going 6-8-1 with a 2.56 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 15 appearances. The Jets are back home for a game Saturday versus the Flyers, but their next back-to-back is March 6 and 7 versus the Flyers and Devils, respectively, so Comrie shouldn't have to wait very long for his next start.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Prevails in shootout
Rotowire
Comrie allowed three goals on 24 shots in Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over the Blues.
Comrie has been streaky in limited action this season, earning a pair of three-game winning streaks and eight losses in between them. He's now 6-7-1 with a 2.59 GAA and a .910 save percentage over 14 appearances. The 29-year-old got the start Saturday in St. Louis since Connor Hellebuyck went from Boston to Winnipeg for rest after leading Team USA to a second-place finish at the 4 Nations Face-Off. Assuming Hellebuyck is ready to play Monday versus the Sharks, Comrie is likely to be back in the backup role, while Kaapo Kahkonen should be heading to AHL Manitoba in short order. Comrie should get another start soon -- the Jets have a road back-to-back this week, with stops in Ottawa on Wednesday and Nashville on Thursday.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Shuts out Canes
Rotowire
Comrie stopped all 29 shots he faced in Tuesday's 3-0 win over Carolina.
This was easily Comrie's best performance of the season, as he had given up two or more goals in each of his previous 12 appearances. The 29-year-old netminder is now sporting a 5-7-1 record and 2.57 GAA in 13 outings. Despite the recent success, Comrie shouldn't be expected to see many starts outside of back-to-backs behind workhorse backstop Connor Hellebuyck.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Gets back in win column
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 20 of 22 shots in Sunday's 5-2 win over the Flames.
Comrie had lost his last eight outings (0-7-1), including a loss to the Flames just eight days earlier on home ice.

Comrie is now 4-7-1 with a 2.79 GAA and a .905 save percentage over 12 outings in 2024-25. The 29-year-old has typically played once every four or five games this season, so he's likely to make one more appearance before the NHL takes a break for the 4 Nations Face-Off, though the Jets have no back-to-back sets between now and then.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Loses in overtime
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 21 of 23 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kings.
Comrie handled the first half of a back-to-back for the first time this season, but he was unable to snap his losing streak. This was at least a good showing from the goalie, though the same can't be said for the Jets' offense, which was held in check by the Kings' firm defense. Comrie is now 3-6-1 with a 2.94 GAA and a .904 save percentage. Expect Connor Hellebuyck to start Saturday at home versus the Avalanche, and he may see steady playing time next week as well -- it's not unusual for Hellebuyck to start four or five games in a row, though Comrie has not had to wait more than 13 days between starts.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Can't snap skid
Rotowire
Comrie allowed three goals on 36 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche. The last two goals were empty-netters.
Comrie did a good job of keeping it close, but Casey Mittelstadt's third-period tally was the difference. This was Comrie's sixth straight loss, and he's given up a total of 19 goals in that span. The 29-year-old backup goalie is 3-6-0 with a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage through nine starts. This outing came during a back-to-back set, as have four of his last five appearances. The Jets don't have another back-to-back until Jan. 10 and 11, so expect Connor Hellebuyck to start four of the next five games.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Allows four goals in loss
Rotowire

It was a back-and-forth game, but the Golden Knights struck last on a Brett Howden goal with 4:05 left in the third period. This was Comrie's third straight loss, and he's allowed 10 goals in that span. The 29-year-old is at 3-3-0 with a 3.04 GAA and a .903 save percentage through six starts.

Rotowire
Comrie stopped 32 of 35 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Predators. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 1:20 left in the third period.
Comrie started in the second half of Winnipeg's back-to-back set, and he had a disappointing performance against one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the league en route to a 4-1 defeat. Comrie has dropped his last two starts while stopping 77 of 85 shots. He should return to his regular backup role behind Connor Hellebuyck when the Jets take on the Wild on Monday.
