Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Wins fourth straight start
Hellebuyck stopped 18 of 19 shots in Thursday's 2-1 win over the Kraken.
Hellebuyck had no margin for error in this one, but he kept it tied at 1-1 for 30 minutes before Dylan DeMelo scored with 27 seconds left in regulation. During his four-game winning streak, Hellebuyck has given up just four goals on 93 shots. He's up to 28-6-2 with a 1.97 GAA and a .929 save percentage over 36 starts. The Jets have often avoided having Hellebuyck start more than four games in a row -- if he gets the nod Saturday at home versus the Flames, that would be his fourth straight game between the pipes.

Jets' Colin Miller: Could return as early as Saturday
Miller (neck) could be available to return as early as Saturday against the Flames, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Miller sustained a fracture in his larynx in early January that was expected to sideline him for at least two weeks, and he could return to the ice exactly two weeks after suffering the injury. The 32-year-old Miller has made 34 appearances for the Jets this year, recording two goals, six assists, 22 PIM and a plus-8 rating while averaging 13:58 of ice time.

Jets' Haydn Fleury: Could play Saturday
Fleury (lower body) will miss his 10th consecutive game Thursday against Seattle, but he could return to the lineup as early as Saturday versus Calgary, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Fleury was injured in the Jets' final game before the Christmas break against Toronto. The 28-year-old defenseman has six assists, 31 hits and 44 blocked shots over 25 games with Winnipeg this season. Ville Heinola could be the odd man out on the blue line when Fleury is able to return.

Jets' Vladislav Namestnikov: Might practice Friday
Namestnikov (lower body) may return to practice in a non-contact jersey Friday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
The news effectively rules Namestnikov out against the Kraken on Thursday and makes him a significant doubt to be ready in time to face the Flames on Saturday. The 32-year-old winger is currently stuck in an eight-game goal drought during which he has managed a meager five shots to go with one assist. Given his offensive struggles of late, Namestnikov may have to settle for a bottom-six role whenever he is cleared to return.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Between pipes against Seattle
Hellebuyck will defend the home crease against the Kraken on Thursday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Hellebuyck has been stellar over his last three starts, going 3-0-0 with a 1.00 GAA and .959 save percentage. He'll tend the twine for a third consecutive game and will have a relatively favorable opponent, as the Kraken rank 19th in the NHL with 2.91 goals per game.

Jets' Haydn Fleury: Close to returning
Fleury (lower body) was able to practice in a regular jersey this week, meaning he's close to returning to the lineup, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
It's unclear if he'll be able to return Thursday versus the Kraken. Fleury won't be guaranteed a spot in the lineup upon his return, as Dylan Samberg recovered from a broken foot during Fleury's absence. Fleury would likely be set to compete with Logan Stanley for the last spot on the blue line.

Jets' Dylan Coghlan: Returns to minors
Coghlan was sent to AHL Manitoba on Wednesday.
Coghlan has no points, four PIM, nine shots, two hits and seven blocks in six appearances with Winnipeg in 2024-25. He was a healthy scratch in Tuesday's 6-1 victory over Vancouver.

Jets' Isaak Phillips: Acquired via trade
Phillips was traded to the Jets from the Blackhawks on Wednesday in exchange for Dmitry Kuzmin, Scott Powers of The Athletic reports.
Phillips has significantly more NHL experience than Kuzmin, having logged 56 games for the Blackhawks over the last four seasons. In those outings, the 2020 fifth-round pick managed two goals and 10 assists while averaging 15:60 of ice time. With Colin Miller (neck) seemingly close to returning, it seems unlikely Phillips will be brought up to the NHL roster any time soon.

Jets' Rasmus Kupari: Registers helper
Kupari notched an assist, two hits and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Canucks.
Kupari ended a five-game point drought when he helped out on Nino Niederreiter's second-period tally. The 24-year-old Kupari saw a season-high 14:25 of ice time Tuesday. He continues to play a larger role with the Jets' center depth tested by the absence of Vladislav Namestnikov (lower body). Kupari has done little on offense this season with five points, 35 shots on net, 50 hits, 14 PIM and an even plus-minus rating over 41 outings.

Jets' Cole Perfetti: Provides two helpers
Perfetti logged a pair of assists, three shots on goal and a plus-2 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Canucks.
Perfetti helped out on second-period tallies by Neal Pionk and Nino Niederreiter. The second assist was Perfetti's 100th career point, a milestone he reached in his 185th appearance. He also snapped a nine-game slump Tuesday, a dry spell that has seen him dropped down to the third line while the Jets are missing Mason Appleton (lower body) and Vladislav Namestnikov (lower body). Overall, Perfetti has 25 points, 78 shots on net, 35 hits, 31 blocked shots and a plus-14 rating through 45 appearances.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Distributes three assists
Vilardi notched three assists and a plus-3 rating in Tuesday's 6-1 win over the Canucks.
Vilardi got to flex his playmaking, assisting on all three of Kyle Connor's first-period goals. This was Vilardi's second three-helper effort over his last 10 games, a span in which he's racked up a total of 13 points. The 25-year-old has matched his career high at 41 points (19 goals, 22 helpers) while adding 84 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 45 appearances this season. Vilardi could push past the 70-point mark if he stays healthy.
