Jets' Stuart Skinner: Defending home crease Sunday
Rotowire
Skinner will start Sunday's home game against the Lightning.
Skinner has picked up wins in each of his last two outings, and he'll draw a fourth consecutive start Sunday. Despite his recent success, the 28-year-old has had a somewhat inconsistent start to the 2026-27 campaign, going 5-4-3 with a 3.28 GAA and .885 save percentage across his first 12 appearances of the season.

Jets' Haydn Fleury: Good to go Sunday
Rotowire
Fleury (hand) is available to play against Tampa Bay on Sunday, per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.
Fleury exited Thursday's 6-2 win over Vancouver after blocking a shot with his hand. However, he fully participated in Saturday's practice and should play against the Lightning on Sunday. Fleury has two assists, 13 shots on net, 10 blocked shots and 16 hits in 12 appearances this season.

Jets' Josh Morrissey: Not ready to return
Rotowire
Morrissey (wrist) won't play against Tampa Bay on Sunday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Morrissey is close to returning, but he will miss his 14th straight game against the Lightning on Sunday. He has collected three assists, 12 shots on net, five blocked shots and one hit in four appearances this season. Morrissey will need to be activated from injured reserve once he's cleared to play.
Zhilkin logged three assists in AHL Manitoba's 4-3 overtime win over Toronto on Saturday.
Zhilkin is on a strong pace to start the season, earning six goals and 10 helpers over 14 contests. The forward had just 41 points over his first three AHL regular seasons, so he's set for a major boost in performance. If he continues to play well, he could be a call-up option later in the campaign.

Jets' Henry Thrun: Called up Saturday
Rotowire
Thrun was recalled from AHL Manitoba under emergency conditions Saturday.
Thrun's recall comes as the Jets have a number of moving parts on defense. He'll replace Elias Salomonsson (personal) on the Jets' active roster. Thrun could be in the lineup if both Josh Morrissey (wrist) and Haydn Fleury (hand) can't play Sunday versus the Lightning.

Rotowire
Salomonsson (personal) is out indefinitely, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press on Saturday.

Jets' Elias Salomonsson: Dealing with illness
Rotowire
Salomonsson (illness) was absent from Saturday's practice, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Salomonsson was a healthy scratch for Thursday's 6-2 win over Vancouver. Even if he's healthy, he may not play against Tampa Bay on Sunday. He has registered 14 shots on goal, five blocked shots and seven hits in six NHL appearances this season, but he hasn't earned a point yet.

Jets' Walker Duehr: Nets both goals in AHL win
Rotowire
Duehr scored twice in AHL Manitoba's 2-1 overtime win over Toronto on Friday.
This was Duehr's second game since he was reassigned to the AHL on Oct. 20. The 28-year-old battled a lower-body injury early in the season. He's earned three points with the Moose, and he could play his way into a call-up to Winnipeg if his offense remains strong over a longer stretch.

Jets' Cole Koepke: Puts away goal Thursday
Rotowire
Koepke scored a goal on four shots and added two hits in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.
Koepke has a goal and an assist over two games since he sat out one contest due to an undisclosed injury. The 28-year-old forward is up to three points, 13 shots, 28 hits, eight blocked shots and a minus-2 rating over 13 appearances. Koepke is likely to continue seeing a decent share of playing time on the Jets' fourth line.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Tallies in Thursday's win
Rotowire
Pionk scored a goal on three shots, added three hits and blocked two shots in Thursday's 6-2 win over the Canucks.
Pionk has three goals and an assist over his last five games. The 31-year-old defenseman continues to fill in as Winnipeg's top blueliner, and it's led to enhanced all-around production lately. He has a total of four goals, seven assists, 42 shots on net, 40 hits, 21 blocked shots and a minus-4 rating over 17 appearances. Pionk's multi-category skills make him a reliable depth defensemen in fantasy.

Jets' Alex Iafallo: Hard worker nets power-play marker
Rotowire
Iafallo scored a power-play goal in Thursday's 6-2 victory over Vancouver. He also delivered four hits.
It was his first goal in nine games (one assist). It was also his first power-play point of the season. Iafallo doesn't have a high-skill tool belt, but he makes up for it with pure hard work. He has 23 hits this season and six points in 17 games. That puts Iafallo on pace to replicate his 29-point, 120-hit campaign of 2025-26.

Jets' Mario Ferraro: Second goal of season
Rotowire
Ferraro scored a goal Thursday in a 6-2 victory over the Canucks.
He also had one blocked shot and one hit. Ferraro is a banger-league guy -- he already has 34 blocks and 32 hits in 17 games, and he's well on his way to delivering his sixth consecutive season of triple digits in each of those categories. This was Ferraro's second goal and point this season. His first came opening night.

Jets' Viggo Bjorck: First NHL point
Rotowire
Bjork picked up an assist Thursday in a 6-2 win over Vancouver.
It was Bjork's first NHL point; it came in his 17th game. The 18-year-old winger was skating with Mark Scheifele and Kyle Connor at the time, which is notable -- his skill is a fit with that duo, and at 5-foot-9 and 177 lbs, he can be protected by a guy the size of Scheifele (six-foot-three, 207 lbs). Bjork may become a worthy wire grab if he sticks with these stars.

Jets' Stuart Skinner: Gets second straight win
Rotowire
Skinner made 24 saves in a 6-2 win over Vancouver on Thursday.
Skinner has put up two straight wins for the first time since the beginning of the season. After going 3-0-1 to start the year, Skinner struggled through a 0-4-2 run in the six games prior to these two victories. His overall record is 5-4-3 with a 3.28 GAA and .885 save percentage. Skinner's greatest consistency is his inconsistency.

Jets' Dylan DeMelo: Five points in last four games
Rotowire
DeMelo picked up two assists Thursday in a 6-2 win over Vancouver.
He also had two shots and two blocked shots. DeMelo has five assists in his last four games (five shots, six hits and five blocks) after putting up just one goal and two assists in his previous 13. De Melo's best offensive season came in 2023-24 in Winnipeg when he managed three goals, 28 assists and 93 shots in 82 games. He has 25 hits and 18 blocks in 17 games, and he's rung up five consecutive triple-digit seasons prior to thus year. That's where DeMelo may have value, not his offense.

Jets' Kyle Connor: Seven points in last five games
Rotowire
Connor picked up two assists in a 6-2 win over the Canucks on Thursday.
Connor has four goals and seven points in his last five games, including four points (two goals, two assists) in his last two. His 13 goals and 70 shots put him on pace for a career best 64 snipes and 345 shots. Both of those seem like they're a stretch, but Connor is one of the elite goal guys in the NHL. He's tied with Leon Draisaitl for second overall in goals and two behind Kirill Kaprizov. Connor's 18.6 percent shooting rate is inflated over his 14.8 career mark, so the goals will likely slow down. He's remarkably consistent in that category.

Jets' Mark Scheifele: Eight points in last five games
Rotowire
Scheifele had a goal and an assist in a 6-2 win over Vancouver on Thursday.
Scheifele has four points, including three assists, and six shots in his last two games and eight points (seven assists) in his last five. The goal was his first in nine games. The goals will come -- Scheifele is an elite sniper, and he hasn't had any puck luck this season. He's on pace to top the 175 shots he fired last year, a season in which he delivered 36 snipes. His 7.7 shooting percentage is well below last season's 20.6 and his career mark of 17.3. Scheifele has 16 points (three goals, 13 helpers) in 17 games. The goals will come.

Jets' Dawson Mercer: Nets game winner
Rotowire
Mercer had a goal and an assist in a 6-2 win over the Canucks on Thursday.
Mercer's first-period goal put the Jets up 3-1 in the first period; it stood as the winner. It was his first goal as a member of the Jets since being acquired from the Devils on Oct. 23 as part of the Connor Hellebuyck trade. The goal was also Mercer's first of the season (one goal, seven assists; 17 games). The assist was his first power-play point of the season. Mercer is on the Jets second line and with a role on the power play, he could eventually evolve back into the kind of player he was in his sophomore season. He had 56 points, including 10 PPP, in 82 games that year.
