| Pos | Role | Name |
| C | 1 | Mark Scheifele  ActiveMark Scheifele notched a power-play goal and an assist in a 5-0 win over Minnesota in Game 5 on Friday. Scheifele nearly had another in the third period but he rang it off the post. He finished the series-clinching victory with four shots on goal, a blocked shot and two hits in his 19:30 of ice time. Scheifele also won eight of 15 faceoffs in the contest. Next up for the Jets will be a series against the Avalanche or Predators. Apr 20 |
| 2 | Paul Stastny ActivePaul Stastny picked up a pair of assists with a plus-1 rating and two blocked shots in Winnipeg's 5-0 series-clinching win against Minnesota in Game 5. Stastny was also money in the faceoff circle, winning eight of his 10 puck drops. The center wrapped up the playoff series with a goal and four points in five games, including the game-winning tally back in Game 2. The Jets will face either his former team, the Avalanche, or the Predators in Round 2. Apr 20 |
| 3 | Bryan Little ActiveBryan Little is part of a team that won a playoff series for the first time in his career. Little and the Winnipeg Jets eliminated the Minnesota Wild in five games. "To see those images of how big that crowd is outside, all downtown together, cheering us on – it’s something I’ve always wanted to experience my whole career," the 30-year-old said. "Playing in Atlanta I wasn’t sure I’d ever get to experience playing on a team like this and playing in a city like this, where hockey is loved this much. I just feel lucky to be a part of it." The Jets will either play the Avalanche or Predators in the second round. Apr 21 |
| 4 | Adam Lowry ActiveAdam Lowry is back in the Jets' lineup for Thursday's contest. Lowry got a breather on Tuesday ahead of the postseason. While it makes sense, it was nevertheless unfortunate in a way because he had five assists in his last four games before the scratch. Apr 5 |
| 5 | Jack Roslovic ActiveJack Roslovic is projected to be a healthy scratch Wednesday night in Game 1 versus Minnesota. Roslovic was on the ice for some extra work in the morning along with Tucker Poolman, Shawn Matthias, Marko Dano, Matt Hendricks (lower body) and Jamie Philips. This group will probably be scratched for the Jets' playoff opener. Apr 11 |
| 6 | Matt Hendricks ActiveMatt Hendricks will play in Game 5 against the Minnesota Wild on Friday night. The 36-year-old had been on the sidelines because of a lower-body injury since Mar. 12. He'll take Nikolaj Ehlers' spot in the lineup. Ehlers is dealing with an undisclosed injury. Apr 20 |
| LW | 1 | Nikolaj Ehlers ActiveNikolaj Ehlers was back in a regular practice jersey at Tuesday's practice. Ehlers was not able to play in Game 5 against Minnesota in Round 1 because of a "malaise," according to coach Paul Maurice. He got back on the ice Sunday and said he felt much better. It appears as though Ehlers will be ready to go against Nashville. Apr 24 |
| 2 | Kyle Connor ActiveKyle Connor was snubbed of a Calder Trophy nomination despite a strong rookie season. The 2017-18 first-year class was deep with talent, so even Connor's rookie-leading 31 goals were not enough to put him in the top three. He finished with 57 points in 76 games. However, Calder finalists Mathew Barzal, Brock Boeser and Clayton Keller would probably gladly trade places with Connor, who is competing in the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Apr 22 |
| 3 | Mathieu Perreault  SidelinedMathieu Perreault (upper body) did not participate in Tuesday's practice. Perrealt has not been on the ice since he sustained an upper-body injury on Apr. 11 against Minnesota in Winnipeg's playoff opener. Apr 24 |
| 4 | Andrew Copp ActiveAndrew Copp earned an assist in Game 4 against Minnesota. Copp scored his first NHL playoff goal in Game 2 and he has two points over four contests in Winnipeg's first-round series. This is the 23-year-old's first taste of NHL playoff hockey. Apr 18 |
| 5 | Shawn Matthias ActiveShawn Matthias will be a healthy scratch in Game 5 against the Minnesota Wild. Matthias had one goal and two assists in 27 games during the regular season, but he hasn't suited up in a playoff game yet. Marko Dano and Sami Niku will also watch the game from the press box. Apr 20 |
| 6 | Brandon Tanev ActiveBrandon Tanev posted a goal with a plus-1 rating and a game-high seven hits in Winnipeg's series-clinching victory Friday against the Wild. Tanev was very willing to sacrifice his body in this one, also stepping in front of a shot in his 14:29 of ice time. He might not be the most gifted offensive player in the regular season, but his game is tailor-made for the postseason. Tanev is the kind of physical player who can really get under the skin of the opposition in a long series. Apr 20 |
| RW | 1 | Blake Wheeler ActiveBlake Wheeler has been chosen as a finalist for the Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award. The award is presented "to the NHL player who exemplifies great leadership qualities to his team on and off the ice during the regular season and who plays a leading role in his community growing the game of hockey." Wheeler had a great season on the ice with a personal best 91 points in 81 contests. Off the ice, he serves as an ambassador for the True North Youth Foundation in a variety of programs. Deryk Engelland of the Vegas Golden Knights and Philadelphia's Wayne Simmonds are the other finalists. Apr 24 |
| 2 | Patrik Laine ActivePatrik Laine scored a goal and an assist in Friday's 4-1 win over the Minnesota Wild. The Jets were up 1-0 heading into the third period, but that didn't do their performance justice. They dominated Game 2 from start to finish and they were finally able to put the game to bed with three goals in the third frame. Laine helped set up Paul Stastny's tally (2-0) at the 7:42 mark of the third before adding one of his own with just over two minutes remaining in regulation. The 19-year-old finished the game with a plus-2 rating and six shots on goal in 15:21 of ice time. Laine now has two goals and three points in two games this postseason. The Jets have a 2-0 lead in this best-of-seven series. Game 3 will be played in Minnesota on Sunday night. Apr 13 |
| 3 | Joel Armia SidelinedJoel Armia (upper body) was on the ice Tuesday in a non-contact jersey. Armia suffered an upper-body injury in last Friday's first-round series clincher against Minnesota. He should be considered day-to-day for now. Apr 24 |
| 4 | Marko Dano ActiveMarko Dano will be a healthy scratch in Game 2 of Winnipeg's first-round series against Minnesota. Dano has served as a healthy scratch for a good chunk of the season, and that won't change tonight. He had two goals and one assist in 23 games during the regular season. Tucker Poolman and Shawn Matthias will also watch the game from the press box. Apr 13 |
| D | 1 | Dustin Byfuglien ActiveDustin Byfuglien registered a pair of assists in a 5-0 win over Minnesota in Game 5 on Friday. Byfuglien also posted a plus-2 rating, three shots, two blocks and four hits in 25:34 of ice time. The veteran rearguard logged nearly three minutes more ice time than any of his teammates, really stepping up his game as the Jets posted the series victory to move on to Round 2 of the postseason. Winnipeg will face either Colorado or Nashville. In case you were wondering, Buff had four assists in four regular-season games with a plus-3 rating and 17 PIMs vs. Colorado, and just one goal and an even rating in four games vs. Nashville. Apr 20 |
| 2 | Jacob Trouba ActiveJacob Trouba (ankle) should be in the lineup for Game 1 versus Minnesota on Wednesday night. Coach Paul Maurice said he has no concerns about Trouba's readiness to play in Winnipeg's first-round series. The Jets defender didn't play Saturday after he tweaked his ankle. If his status changes then we will let you know. Apr 9 |
| 3 | Tyler Myers ActiveTyler Myers (lower body) will play in Game 5 against Minnesota on Friday night. Myers took part in the morning skate and declared himself good to go afterward. He said the lower-body injury he sustained last Sunday did not occur when he appeared to be punched in the knee by Minnesota's Marcus Foligno. Apr 20 |
| 4 | Josh Morrissey ActiveJosh Morrissey has finished serving his one-game suspension. Morrissey will be eligible to play in the second round of the playoffs after he was banned for Game 5 on Friday night for cross-checking Minnesota's Eric Staal in the head. Apr 21 |
| 5 | Ben Chiarot ActiveThe Winnipeg Jets are expected to scratch defenseman Ben Chiarot against the Calgary Flames this afternoon. Chiarot has four points in 24 games this season and will be scratched for the fifth straight game. Adam Lowry (upper body), Mark Scheifele (upper body), Shawn Matthias (upper body) and Steve Mason (concussion) will miss the game due to their respective injuries. Jan 20 |
| 6 | Joe Morrow ActiveJoe Morrow scored the game-winning goal in Wednesday's 3-2 win over the Minnesota Wild. The Jets went into the third period leading 1-0, but they quickly found themselves down 2-1 after goals by Wild forwards Matt Cullen and Zach Parise. Winnipeg's Patrik Laine managed to tie the game at two before Morrow added the go-ahead goal with under eight minutes remaining in regulation. The 25-year-old finished the night with two shots on goal, three hits and three blocked shots in 18:08 of ice time. The Jets are sure glad they gave Montreal a fourth-round pick for Morrow at this year's trade deadline. Winnipeg now leads this best-of-seven series 1-0. Game 2 will be played in Winnipeg on Friday night. Apr 11 |
| 7 | Dmitry Kulikov SidelinedDmitry Kulikov (back) did not skate on Tuesday. Kulikov has been out of action since Mar. 8 due to a back injury. He opted not to have surgery and it's unclear when he will be available to return. Apr 24 |
| 8 | Toby Enstrom SidelinedToby Enstrom (ankle) was paired with Dustin Byfuglien during line rushes at Tuesday's practice. That could indicate that a return for Game 1 against Nashville is a possibility. Enstrom missed the first round of the postseason and hasn't played since Mar. 23 because of an ankle injury. Apr 24 |
| 9 | Tucker Poolman ActiveTucker Poolman is expected to be paired with Ben Chiarot in Game 4 on Tuesday night. Poolman is poised to become the 10th player on the Jets to make his NHL playoff debut in this series. He called himself a game-time decision, but it's expected that Tyler Myers will be out and Poolman will play. "It's exciting, kind of like playing your first game, similar to that," Poolman added. "Control your emotions, and go out and play hockey like always." Apr 17 |
| G | 1 | Connor Hellebuyck ActiveConnor Hellebuyck has been a huge part of Winnipeg's success this season. "He’s been unbelievable all year. For us to win this thing, we’re going to need that kind of goaltending. He’s been doing everything and more that we need him to do. You don’t get tired of it, just how good he’s been for us this year, how big of a part of the team he is," said teammate Bryan Little. "You don’t get used to how good he is. Even tonight, he made a breakaway save. He makes hard saves look routine. We put a lot of pressure on him because we need him to play that well to do well in the playoffs. He doesn’t fell it. He just goes out and he’s a wall for us." Hellebuyck has 4-1 record with a 1.93 goals-against-average and a .924 save percentage this postseason. Apr 21 |
| 2 | Steve Mason SidelinedSteve Mason (undisclosed) did not take part in Tuesday's practice. However, he was on the ice earlier. Mason did not dress Friday night in Game 5 against Minnesota after he was injured during the team's morning skate. Apr 24 |
| 3 | Michael Hutchinson ActiveThe Winnipeg Jets have called up Michael Hutchinson. Steve Mason was hurt during Friday's practice, which makes his status for Game 5 unclear. If he's not available to serve as the backup goaltender, then Hutchinson will serve in that role. Apr 20 |
