Jets' Jaret Anderson-Dolan: Injured blocking shot
Anderson-Dolan is dealing with an undisclosed injury after blocking a shot against Calgary on Wednesday, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
Anderson-Dolan is not expected to be sidelined long-term, but he is unlikely to jump right back into action versus the Flames on Friday. The winger is in a battle for a bottom-six role with the likes of Alex Iafallo and up-and-comers Brad Lambert and Nikita Chibrikov. If Anderson-Dolan's injury lingers, he could suddenly find himself hitting the waiver wire on his way to the minors.

Jets' Dominic Toninato: Placed on waivers Thursday
Toninato was put on waivers Thursday, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
Toninato spent most of last season in the minors, picking up seven goals and 13 assists in 37 games with AHL Manitoba. He managed a goal and five points in 15 regular-season games with Winnipeg. He should spend the 2024-25 campaign with Manitoba, if he passes through waivers, but he should see some action at the NHL level.

Jets' Mason Shaw: Placed on waivers
Shaw was placed on waivers by the Jets on Thursday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Shaw will be sent to AHL Manitoba if he passes through waivers. The 25-year-old inked a one-year, two-way contract with the Jets in the offseason. He had a goal and two assists in 20 regular-season games with Minnesota last year, missing most of the season recovering from a torn ACL. He should be among the early call-ups if Winnipeg runs into any injury problems up front.

Jets' Axel Jonsson-Fjallby: Waived by Winnipeg
Jonsson-Fjallby was placed on waivers by the Jets on Thursday with the intent to assign him to AHL Manitoba, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Jonsson-Fjallby made 26 regular-season appearances with Winnipeg last year, tallying two goals and five points while averaging 8:07 of ice time. He'll likely begin this year in the minors but could be called up as a depth option at some point.

Jets' Simon Lundmark: Waived for reassignment
Lundmark was placed on waivers by Winnipeg on Thursday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Lundmark has yet to make his NHL debut, which could help him pass through waivers unclaimed and land with AHL Manitoba. Still, the 2019 second-round pick put together a strong camp while also offering some offensive upside after garnering 17 points in 67 minor-league games with the Moose last year.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Can he keep doctors away?
Vilardi set up three goals in a 5-2 win over Calgary in preseason action on Wednesday.
Vilardi is coming off his best point-per-game season (36 points, including 22 goals, in 47 games) and is poised for a career season. Vilardi is poised for regular shifts beside star veterans Kyle Connor and Mark Scheifele, and that near point-per-game average could deliver 65-70 points if he can stay healthy. But he's never played more than 63 regular-season games in a season, so have a contingency plan.

Jets' David Gustafsson: Suffers lower-body injury
Gustafsson (lower body) left Wednesday's game versus the Flames midway through the second period. He will have his injury evaluated further Thursday, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
Gustafsson is in a position to earn a bottom-six role in the Opening Night lineup, but this injury puts that in jeopardy. Even if the injury isn't serious, the 24-year-old may be held out of Friday's preseason finale in Calgary.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Game sharpening into focus
Hellebuyck made 17 saves in a 5-2 win over the Flames in preseason action on Wednesday.
Hellebuyck looked much better than he did Friday night when the wheels came off just 92 seconds into the game. He allowed the first puck past him that night and got the hook after allowing eight goals in 40 minutes of action. Hellebuyck and the Jets weren't too worried about that game, as they had plenty of non-regulars on the ice. They iced more regulars Wednesday, and the game reflected that. Hellebuyck is one of the league's best, and he should nail down a Vezina-quality season.

Jets' Nino Niederreiter: Double snipe night
Niederreiter scored twice in a 5-2 win over Calgary in preseason action on Wednesday.
The 32-year-old veteran of 887 NHL games is coming off an 18-goal, 34-point season in 2023-24 and is vying for a top-nine role on the Jets. Niederreiter's game is slowing, but he still has a scorer's hands and can be dangerous on the second power-play unit. Put him on your watch list in deep formats - he may be a helpful waiver grab if injuries strike.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Slated to start Wednesday
Hellebuyck is expected to be between the pipes at home versus Calgary on Wednesday, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Hellebuyck has reached the 60-game mark in each of the last three seasons, including posting 37 wins last year on his way to the Vezina Trophy. The 31-year-old backstop figures to be near the top of the list of the NHL games-played list at the end of the season, and he should be capable of challenging for the 40-win threshold.

Jets' Logan Stanley: Out at least four weeks
Stanley will have knee surgery due to a meniscus issue after suffering a tweak during an off-ice pregame routine Wednesday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports Friday. Stanley's expected to be out for at least four weeks.
Stanley had a goal, an assist, 36 PIM, 45 hits and 40 blocks in 25 regular-season outings with Winnipeg in 2023-24. He was in the mix for a third-pairing role for the upcoming campaign. With Ville Heinola (ankle surgery) also sidelined, Dylan Coghlan will likely begin 204-25 with Winnipeg, though he might spend a fair amount of time as a healthy scratch.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Set for action Friday
Hellebuyck will be between the pipes for Friday's preseason contest against Minnesota, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
Winnipeg's No. 1 netminder will start the game, but it's unclear how long Hellebuyck will play for. The two-time Vezina winner sported a record of 37-19-4 with a .921 save percentage and a 2.39 GAA in 60 regular-season appearances in 2023-24. Eric Comrie and Kaapo Kahkonen are expected to compete for the backup role behind Hellebuyck this season.

Jets' Ville Heinola: Undergoes surgery
Heinola, who has an ankle infection, underwent surgery, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports Thursday.
Heinola previously underwent ankle surgery last year and his infection is related to a screw from that operation, based on a report from Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press last Friday. There's no timetable for Heinola's return, but McIntyre believes he'll be out for at least another month. The 23-year-old defenseman was originally in the mix for a spot on the Jets' Opening Night roster, but he might instead spend some time in the minors after he recovers.

Jets' Logan Stanley: Day-to-day due to injury
Stanley (undisclosed) is regarded as day-to-day after something was tweaked, per Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun on Thursday.
Stanley missed Wednesday's preseason game due to the injury. He had a goal, an assist, 36 PIM, 45 hits and 40 blocks in 25 regular-season contests with Winnipeg in 2023-24.

Jets' Logan Stanley: Misses Wednesday's game
Stanley (undisclosed) missed Wednesday's preseason game versus the Oilers, Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun reports.
Stanley was initially expected to be in the lineup, but he did not play. The Jets did not have an update on the defenseman after the game, but they are expected to provide one Thursday. The 26-year-old is in competition for a third-pairing role during the preseason.

Jets' Kaapo Kahkonen: Starting preseason clash
Kahkonen will be between the pipes at home versus Edmonton on Wednesday, John Lu of TSN reports.
Kahkonen's performance Wednesday could go a long way toward determining who gets the backup job behind Connor Hellebuyck to open the 2024-25 campaign. It figures to be a battle throughout training camp between the 28-year-old Kahkonen and Eric Comrie, who may have the inside track due to his prior stint with the Jets.

Jets' Cole Perfetti: Inks bridge deal
Perfetti came to terms on a two-year, $6.5 million contract with Winnipeg on Monday, according to Darren Dreger of TSN.
Perfetti was a restricted free agent coming into this season and had yet to participate in training camp. The 22-year-old can now turn his focus towards joining his teammates on the ice, and it'll be an important season for the youngster. Perfetti is expected to receive top-six minutes and time on the power play. The Ontario native notched 38 points and a plus-13 rating in 71 regular-season contests in 2023-24.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Starting in Edmonton
Comrie will guard the road goal in Sunday's exhibition contest against the Oilers, according to Jamie Thomas of the Jets' official site.
Comrie earned a mark of 2-7-0 with a 3.69 GAA and an .874 save percentage over 10 regular-season appearances for Buffalo in 2023-24. He is competing with Kaapo Kahkonen for the backup role behind Connor Hellebuyck during training camp.

Jets' Kaapo Kahkonen: Facing Wild
Kahkonen will patrol the home crease in Saturday's preseason contest versus Minnesota.
Kahkonen earned a mark of 7-24-3 with a 3.64 GAA and an .898 save percentage in 37 regular-season outings between San Jose and New Jersey in 2023-24. He is competing with Eric Comrie for the backup role behind Connor Hellebuyck during training camp.

Jets' Ville Heinola: Battling ankle infection
Heinola is dealing with an ankle infection that is far worse than day-to-day, per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press on Friday.
Heinola sustained a fractured ankle in the 2023-24 preseason, which required surgery to repair. The infection is to the same ankle and will prevent him from competing for a spot on Winnipeg's blue line for Opening Night. The Jets expect to know more about his status in a week or so, but this will probably impact his availability for the start of the season.
