| C | 1 | Mark Scheifele  ActiveMark Scheifele learned from his experience at the World Cup of Hockey. "I don't know if it there are specific things, but playing with certain guys and with me being a center, now I can maybe empathize with what a winger is doing," said Scheifele. "The biggest thing for me was to get to play against the best guys in the world and be a part of that." He skated on the right side for most of the tournament on a line with Connor McDavid and Auston Matthews. When Scheifele gets back with the Jets he is penciled in to begin the regular season between Blake Wheeler and Nikolaj Ehlers. Sep 27 |
| 2 | Bryan Little ActiveBryan Little may have slipped behind Mark Scheifele on the depth chart, but he still could have an opportunity to play with some talented players in 2016-17. If Scheifele stays with Blake Wheeler and Nikolaj Ehlers, which is expected, then Little could skate between Drew Stafford and exciting rookie Patrik Laine. Sep 22 |
| 3 | Marko Dano ActiveMarko Dano netted the game-winning goal for Slovakia in overtime to defeat the United States by a score of 3-2. However, it wasn't enough to get Slovakia into the quarterfinal round, as they needed a regulation time victory. Dano had a goal and an assist in six outings at the 2016 IIHF World Championship. May 17 |
| 4 | Adam Lowry ActiveAdam Lowry has inked a two-year, $2.25 million contract with the Winnipeg Jets. Lowry had four assists in four AHL games last season. With the Winnipeg Jets he recorded seven goals, 17 points, and 53 penalty minutes in 74 contests. Jul 15 |
| 5 | Nic Petan ActiveThanks to a pair of helpers during Thursday's 5-4 win over San Jose, Nic Petan has recorded four points over his last four games. Petan has three helpers and one goal over that stretch, which brings his season total up to five points in 25 games overall. Apr 8 |
| LW | 1 | Nikolaj Ehlers ActiveNikolaj Ehlers capped his rookie season in style during Saturday's 4-3 shootout win over LA. Ehlers scored a goal and picked up an assist in the effort. He finishes with 15 goals and 38 points in 72 games. Pretty solid for the 20-year-old. Apr 10 |
| 2 | Mathieu Perreault ActiveMathieu Perreault wants to know "how much more" Jacob Trouba wants. Per Perreault, "This guy plays big minutes, 22 minutes, and he's gonna complain some sort of way about his ice time?" Trouba is on record stating that he wants to be a top-four defenseman who plays on the right side, but that doesn't offer any more clarity to his current veteran teammate. Perreault went on to suggest that Trouba should come to camp anyway because if the Jets get off to a hot start, it could diminish his perceived value and therefore trade prospects. Sep 25 |
| 3 | Shawn Matthias  SidelinedShawn Matthias' upper-body isn't believed to be serious, according to assistant coach Jamie Kompon. "I don't think there's much of a concern," Kompon said Wednesday. Matthias left Tuesday's exhibition game early and should be considered day-to-day for now. Sep 29 |
| 4 | Alexander Burmistrov ActiveAlexander Burmistrov's turnover led to Buffalo's Jack Eichel scoring the game-winning goal on Saturday afternoon. The Jets jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but things fell apart as the game wore on. Burmistrov's turnover in the third period certainly didn't help. "I didn't see anybody around me," Burmistrov said. "So tried to chip it in to myself, between his stick... it's a turnover back and end up in the net. I feel bad of course." The loss means that the Jets are officially eliminated from playoff contention. Mar 27 |
| 5 | Quinton Howden ActiveSigning with the Winnipeg Jets was "a dream come true" for Quinton Howden. Howden, who was born in Winnipeg, signed with the Jets as an unrestricted free agent over the summer. "This is a dream come true. I’ve said it lots of times before but it still hasn’t sunk in," said Howden. "It feels like in two weeks I’ve got to pack up and leave again. I’m so used to doing that. It’s nice to be settled and I’m really excited to get things under way." The 24-year-old was originally drafted by Florida in the first round of the 2010 draft. He had six goals and 11 points in 58 games with the Panthers last season. This may be a nice story, but don't expect Howden to have any fantasy value this season. Aug 29 |
| RW | 1 | Blake Wheeler ActiveThe Winnipeg Jets have named Blake Wheeler as their new captain. The last captain, Andrew Ladd, was traded to Chicago before the trade deadline and signed with the New York Islanders this off-season. Wheeler has been with the organization for the last seven years. The 30-year-old finished sixth in league scoring last year with 78 points. Dustin Byfuglien and Mark Scheifele will serve as the alternate captains. "For me, this is obviously a huge honor," said Wheeler. "I really look forward to being a leader on this team...it's not just going to be us three, we have a great group of men in our room. Aug 31 |
| 2 | Patrik Laine ActivePatrik Laine joined the Jets for his first practice on Monday. He started camp alongside Blake Wheeler and 2015 first-rounder Jack Roslovic, but he could start the regular season with Bryan Little has his center and Drew Stafford as his other linemate. "Just hard-working every day and hope I can make it to the team," said Laine. "That's my only goal, is making the team and playing in the NHL the whole season. Everything else is a plus." Sep 27 |
| 3 | Drew Stafford ActiveDrew Stafford scored the lone goal for Winnipeg in a 4-1 loss to Calgary on Wednesday. Stafford has been streaking of late with three goals in his last four games. He's up to 19 goals in 66 games played. He has been averaging around 20 goals the last four seasons so things are on track for Stafford despite a poor season from Winnipeg as a team. Mar 17 |
| 4 | Joel Armia ActiveJoel Armia has signed a two-year, $1.85 million contract. Armia had four goals and 10 points in 43 games with Winnipeg last season. He also had three goals and eight points in 18 AHL contests. Jul 15 |
| 5 | Chris Thorburn ActiveChris Thorburn fought Mike Weber on Sunday night during Winnipeg's 4-2 win over Buffalo. After Weber rubbed out Nikolaj Ehlers in a less than friendly fashion early on in the second period, Thorburn made sure to exact some immediate revenge. He also collected three hits and won half his draws during his 12:29 of work. Jan 10 |
| D | 1 | Dustin Byfuglien ActiveLast season's highest scoring American defender, Dustin Byfuglien, will be scratched for Saturday's match with Team Europe. Coach John Tortorella has spent the pre-tournament rounds trying to utilize Byfuglien at right wing, much to the defender's dismay. So it's not entirely surprising to see him on the pine. All the same he's annually one of, if not the, highest scoring blue liner the Americans have at their disposal. So the decision deserves at least a mild scratch of the head. Sep 17 |
| 2 | Jacob Trouba ActiveWinnipeg isn't making it easy to acquire Jacob Trouba. TSN's Bob McKenzie said most teams won't give the Jets what they want in return for Trouba because they specifically want a left-handed defender of similar age and potential. However, that could change and most teams are hoping that it will. Boston, Arizona, Colorado and the Rangers are very interested in Trouba, but they aren't the right fit right now for what the Jets want in return. McKenzie believes the wait could be long for a trade as a result. Sep 28 |
| 3 | Tyler Myers ActiveTyler Myers has undergone knee surgery. Once Myers has recovered from that procedure, he will have a second operation on his hip. As you might imagine, he's done for the season, but the good news is that he should be ready for the start of training camp. He had nine goals and 27 points in 73 contests this season. Mar 24 |
| 4 | Toby Enstrom ActiveToby Enstrom will undergo surgery on his knee Thursday. Enstrom has apparently been dealing with the injury since November. He is probably done for the rest of the season. Enstrom accounted for two goals, 16 points and a plus-8 rating in 72 games. Mar 22 |
| 5 | Mark Stuart ActiveMark Stuart was activated from injured reserve and returned to the lineup on Thursday night versus Los Angeles. He played in his first game since Feb. 13 after he suffered a broken hand. Stuart posted a plus-2 rating in 20:12 of ice time versus the Kings. Mar 25 |
| 6 | Ben Chiarot ActiveBen Chiarot will get back into the lineup Wednesday against Toronto. He will be paired with Dustin Byfuglien and Adam Pardy will be scratched. Chiarot hasn't played since Nov. 14. He has two assists in 13 games this season. Dec 2 |
| 7 | Brian Strait ActiveBrian Strait has signed a one-year, $600,000 contract with the Winnipeg Jets. That's down from Strait's previous three-year contract worth roughly $2.3 million. He had six points and 31 penalty minutes in 52 games with the Islanders in 2015-16. Jul 1 |
| 8 | Paul Postma ActiveJacob Trouba's trade request might give a defender like Paul Postma a shot at regular playing time with the Jets this season. "I try not to worry about stuff that happens in the media, contracts and stuff. What's going on with (Trouba) has nothing to do with me, but it does play a small part and it's tough not to think about," said Postma. "I just want to play my best and whatever happens, happens." He appeared in just 26 games with the Jets last season and would like to play on a more consistent basis. Sep 28 |
| G | 1 | Ondrej Pavelec ActiveThe Jets' goaltending battle will be a three-way affair with Ondrej Pavelec attempting to fend off challengers Connor Hellebuyck and Michael Hutchinson. It would be great for the Jets and coach Paul Maurice if one of Pavelec, Hellebuyck and Hutchinson could establish himself and run with the starting job, but it is likely the Jets will at least start the campaign in a job-share situation. It remains to be seen who will share that job with Pavelec. Stay tuned. Sep 25 |
| 2 | Michael Hutchinson ActiveMichael Hutchinson has signed a new two-year contract with the Winnipeg Jets. His new deal carries a very affordable annual average value of $1.150 million. Hutchinson struggled in 2015-16 with a 9-15-3 record, a 2.84 goals-against average and a .907 save percentage. Jun 21 |
| 3 | Connor Hellebuyck ActiveConnor Hellebuyck will get the nod in Thursday's preseason game against Minnesota. Michael Hutchinson will be the other goalie for the Jets. Hellebuyck had a 2.34 GAA and .918 save percentage in 26 games with Winnipeg last season. Sep 29 |
