Chibrikov was loaned to AHL Manitoba on Monday.
Chibrikov has been a healthy scratch for the last two games. He hasn't earned a point in eight NHL outings this season while providing five shots on goal, five blocked shots and 10 hits. Chibrikov had seven goals and 11 assists in 30 AHL regular-season appearances last campaign.

Jets' Nikita Chibrikov: Inks two-year extension
Rotowire
Chibrikov signed a two-year, $1.75 million contract extension with the Jets on Saturday, per NHL agent Dan Milstein.
Chibrikov has one season remaining on his three-year, entry-level contract, and his new deal will start in the 2026-27 campaign. Chibrikov's freshly inked contract is a one-way agreement, so there's a decent chance the 22-year-old will play for the big club once it begins. In the meantime, Chibrikov might continue to hone his game with AHL Manitoba for the bulk of 2025-26.

Chibrikov was loaned to AHL Manitoba on Thursday.
Chibrikov was called up by the Jets on Dec. 9, and he made four appearances with the NHL club, racking up two goals, one assist, nine hits and four blocked shots while averaging 11:24 of ice time. He'll likely see more consistent opportunities in the AHL but could rejoin Winnipeg at some point.

Jets' Nikita Chibrikov: Finds twine Thursday
Rotowire
Chibrikov scored a goal in Thursday's 3-2 overtime loss to the Golden Knights.
The 21-year-old winger has made two appearances for the Jets and has registered three points, so he's made a strong impact with the NHL club. Chibrikov remains a prospect, but he's making an early case to remain in the lineup if he can maintain his production.

Jets' Nikita Chibrikov: Pots first goal of season
Rotowire
Chibrikov scored an even-strength goal and added a power-play assist in Tuesday's 8-1 win over the Bruins.
In his 2024-25 debut for the Jets, the 21-year-old helped set up an Alex Iafallo tally as part of a five-goal eruption by Winnipeg in the third period, then potted the final marker of the game himself after a Bruins giveaway in their own zone inside the last four minutes. It was Chibrikov's first NHL goal this season and the second of his career, and while the power-play shifts are nice to see, the fact that they came in a rout suggests he isn't likely to see regular duty on the man advantage quite yet. The 2021 second-round pick had five goals and 13 points in 19 AHL games prior to his promotion Monday, and if he stays productive he could settle into a middle-six role.

Jets' Nikita Chibrikov: Returned to AHL
Rotowire
Chibrikov was reassigned to AHL Manitoba on Friday.
