| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Mark Scheifele  ActiveMark Scheifele assisted on a second-period goal as the Winnipeg Jets loss 5-2 to the Columbus Blue Jackets. Scheifele's pass was one-timed by Kyle Connor for a goal that cut the Blue Jackets' lead, but the Jets never really threatened in this game. While the Jets struggle to find their starting goaltender, Scheifele has slowly scored a point per game and has six on the season. He had 82 points in 79 games last season and has a strong chance to top that this year. Oct 17 |
| 2 | Bryan Little ActiveBryan Little posted a pair of assists Thursday in a 4-2 win over Vancouver. Little didn't have a point in his previous two outings. He has three helpers in four appearances this season. Oct 13 |
| 3 | Adam Lowry  I.L.The Winnipeg Jets have placed Adam Lowry on injured reserve retroactive to Oct. 12. He missed Saturday's game because of the injury and now he'll be out for the next little while. The 24-year-old has no points in four games this season. He has no fantasy value. The Jets recalled Brendan Lemieux from the minors in a corresponding move. Oct 17 |
| 4 | Nic Petan ActiveNic Petan will be a healthy scratch in Wednesday's game against the Maple Leafs. The 22-year-old had one goal and 12 assists in 54 games with the Jets last season. Tucker Poolman and Ben Chiarot will also watch the game from the press box. None of these three players will have fantasy value. Oct 4 |
| LW | 1 | Nikolaj Ehlers ActiveNikolaj Ehlers captured the first star of the week for the period ending Oct. 15. Ehlers produced five goals and two assists in three contests. He scored a pair of game winners and became just the third player in Jets/Thrashers history to post a natural hat trick. Ehlers didn't have a point in his first two appearances prior to last week's breakout. Oct 16 |
| 2 | Mathieu Perreault I.L.Mathieu Perreault (lower body) is projected to miss four weeks. Perreault was placed on injured reserve after he was hurt in Saturday's match against Carolina. Oct 16 |
| 3 | Andrew Copp ActiveAndrew Copp (knee) was good to go on Wednesday for Winnipeg's opener. Copp suffered a knee injury near the end of the preseason, but he was fine to play against Toronto. He logged 10:25 of ice time in the Jets' 7-2 loss, while posting one shot, one hit and one block. Oct 5 |
| 4 | Shawn Matthias ActiveThe Jets have lost Shawn Matthias for the season due to surgery to repair a torn labrum. The labrum, mind you, is the cup-shaped rim of cartilage that lines and reinforces the ball and socket joint of the shoulder. Matthias' season ends with eight goals and 12 points in 45 games. He'll enter his age-30 campaign in 2017-18 and ding the cap at $2.125M in the final year of his contract. Mar 18 |
| 5 | Kyle Connor ActiveKyle Connor scored a goal in his season debut with the Jets on Tuesday night. Connor started the match alongside Patrik Laine and Bryan Little, but he was switched to a combination with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler in the second period. Scheifele and Wheeler assisted on Connor's third career NHL goal. Mathieu Perreault is expected to miss four weeks, so Connor has a great chance to step up as a top-six forward. Oct 18 |
| 6 | Brandon Tanev ActiveBrandon Tanev has inked a one-year, $700,000 contract with the Winnipeg Jets. Tanev's contract is one-way, so he'll earn that amount even if he gets sent to the minors. He had two goals and four points in 51 games with Winnipeg as a rookie last season. He also recorded two goals and nine points in 23 AHL contests. Jul 11 |
| 7 | Matt Hendricks I.L.Matt Hendricks (undisclosed) was on the ice for Thursday's practice. Hendricks isn't taking contact yet though. He's missed Winnipeg's first six games of the 2017-18 campaign. Oct 19 |
| RW | 1 | Blake Wheeler ActiveBlake Wheeler posted three assists with a plus-3 rating in Monday's 5-2 win on the road against the Oilers. Wheeler was extremely active in Saturday's game in Calgary, picking up an assist, and the momentum carried over into this one. He has yet to light the lamp in three outings, but he has managed four assists and he erased his minus-2 rating with this outstanding stat line. Oct 10 |
| 2 | Patrik Laine ActivePatrik Laine scored a goal as the Winnipeg Jets defeated the Vancouver Canucks 4-2 on Thursday night. Laine wristed a beautiful shot past Jacob Markstrom in the second period to put his team ahead. It was the second goal of the season for the Finnish sensation, who will attempt to top his 64 point rookie campaign. He now has two goals and an assist in four games this season playing on a line with Bryan Little and Mathieu Perreault. His offensive ability makes him a key piece on any fantasy team. Oct 13 |
| 3 | Joel Armia ActiveJoel Armia potted a shorthanded goal in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to Columbus. Armia got his first goal of the season with just 1:37 remaining in the third period. He scored four of his 10 markers last season while on the penalty kill. Oct 18 |
| 4 | Marko Dano ActiveMarko Dano will suit up in Monday's game against Edmonton. He was a healthy scratch on Saturday after he played in Winnipeg's opener. Dano will replace Joel Armia on the fourth line alongside Andrew Copp and Brandon Tanev. Oct 9 |
| 5 | Brendan Lemieux ActiveBrendan Lemieux will make his NHL debut Friday night. "I've been waiting my whole life for this," said Lemieux. "It's been a dream since I watched my dad (Claude) play in the NHL. I'm blessed to have the opportunity and thankful for the people who helped get me here." He is projected to play with Nic Petan and Shawn Matthias. Oct 20 |
| D | 1 | Dustin Byfuglien ActiveDustin Byfuglien participated in Thursday's practice. This is just an FYI because Byfuglien skipped Wednesday's skate for maintenance reasons. He should be fine to play on Friday. Oct 19 |
| 2 | Jacob Trouba ActiveJacob Trouba received a match penalty for an illegal check to the head of Calgary's Marek Hrivik on Monday night. Trouba is suspended pending league review of the hit, but coach Paul Maurice believes it could be rescinded. "I've looked at it a bunch of times. I understand the call on the ice, just the way it looks because of the angles of the referees," Maurice said. "And I want that call in exhibition, you don't want to miss something like that and the game gets right out of hand. But I think you'll find it end up being a pretty clean hit." Sep 26 |
| 3 | Josh Morrissey ActiveJosh Morrissey netted his first goal of the year in Thursday's 4-2 win over Vancouver. Morrissey has contributed two points in four games. He had six goals and 20 points in 82 games during his rookie campaign in 2016-17. Oct 13 |
| 4 | Tyler Myers ActiveTyler Myers admits that it feels good to be back out on the ice with his teammates. Myers missed 71 games because of a hip issue last season, but he's settling in nicely on a pairing with Dmitry Kulikov this year. "It feels great to be back out with the guys. I feel good," said Myers. "Still obviously getting used to some different situations and different plays, but it is coming back quick." Myers has one goal, no assists and a plus-6 rating in four games this season. He's averaging 22:39 of ice time per game so far. Oct 14 |
| 5 | Dmitry Kulikov  SidelinedDmitry Kulikov (lower body) took part in Thursday's morning skate. Kulikov was wearing a no-contact jersey though, so his return likely isn't imminent. He missed Tuesday's game due to the injury. Oct 19 |
| 6 | Toby Enstrom ActiveAlthough Toby Enstrom agreed to waive his no-movement clause, allowing him to be exposed in the expansion draft, he didn't want to leave Winnipeg. "I can confirm that Enstrom has waived his no-move as a favour to the Jets organization. Tobias has played his entire career in the organization and has always been treated with the best respect," his agent, Kalle Boden said. "He has warm feelings for the city and the Jets organization and wanted to help them out in a tricky situation. Enstrom is positive the Jets have a bright future and he wants to be a part of that. Therefore he is 100 per cent clear that he wants to stay." In the end, the Jets worked out a trade with Vegas that involved the Golden Knights claiming Chris Thorburn, so Enstrom is still with the Jets. Enstrom, 32, had a goal and 14 points in 60 contests while averaging 21:54 minutes last season. Jun 22 |
| 7 | Ben Chiarot ActiveBen Chiarot is likely to make his season debut on Friday against the Minnesota Wild. "Ben's worked hard to put himself in a position to get a game," said coach Paul Maurice. "Had he not, then we wouldn't have considered him for that." It seems like he will replace Tucker Poolman. Oct 20 |
| 8 | Tucker Poolman ActiveTucker Poolman is expected be in the lineup on Tuesday night alongside Tyler Myers. Dmitry Kulikov is out with a lower-body injury, so Poolman will get another opportunity to fill in on the Jets' blue line. He suited up in two games this season when Dustin Byfuglien was injured and logged just over 14 minutes of ice time in a pair of wins. Oct 17 |
| G | 1 | Steve Mason ActiveSteve Mason made 34 saves as the Winnipeg Jets lost 5-2 to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Tuesday night. Mason has now dropped all three contests he has started so far into his Jets tenure. He had previously been benched for three straight games in favour of Connor Hellebuyck by Head Coach Paul Maurice. He now sits at 0-3-0 with a terrible 5.98 goals-against average and a .846 save percentage. He is in real danger of losing the starting job to Hellebuyck at this point, so be wary fantasy-wise. Oct 17 |
| 2 | Connor Hellebuyck ActiveConnor Hellebuyck will be the Jets' starting goaltender on Friday. Winnipeg is in a stretch of just two games over the span of 11 days, so it's important to get Hellebuyck a start after Steve Mason played between the pipes on Tuesday. Otherwise Hellebuyck would be going nearly two weeks between appearances. Oct 18 |
