Seattle Kraken forward Matty Beniers has had an up-and-down career in the NHL to this point. The former second overall pick from the 2021 NHL Draft had an incredible rookie season. In fact, he won the Calder Trophy as the league’s best rookie at the end of his debut campaign. However, it’s been a bit […]

The Edmonton Oilers are looking to return to the Stanley Cup Final, hoping to finally lift the Cup this year. In the offseason, the Oilers signed Andrew Mangiapane in an effort to get the team over the hump. It has not worked as well as the team hoped, and now the Oilers are shopping Mangiapane. […]

The Edmonton Oilers are looking to make it to the Stanley Cup Final for a third straight season. This year, the hope is to finally lift the Cup, and in the offseason, the front office thought they made a signing to help in that pursuit. The Oilers signed Andrew Mangiapane to a two-year, $7.2 million […]

The NHL spotlight shines brightest during moments that have nothing to do with saves, standings, or statistics. The Winnipeg Jets goaltender, Connor Hellebuyck, provided one of those moments this week when he publicly addressed the speculation surrounding Ottawa Senators netminder Linus Ullmark. Ullmark recently stepped away from the Senators on a personal leave, a decision […]

Jonathan Toews’ return to the United Center on Monday night carried far more emotion than a typical Central Division matchup between the Winnipeg Jets and Chicago Blackhawks. For the first time in his career, Toews skated onto the Chicago ice wearing a visiting sweater, and the moment instantly turned into a celebration of one of […]

With a goal on Thursday, Jonathan Toews reached 900 NHL points, helping the Winnipeg Jets pick up a 6-2 win over the Minnesota Wild at Grand Casino Arena. The veteran center not only scored the first goal of the game but also added an assist to teammate Josh Morrissey for his 901st point, becoming the […]

The Carolina Hurricanes are one of the best teams in the NHL at this time. However, this does not mean that the team is unwilling to make a subtraction or two from their roster. According to recent trade rumors, former first-round pick Jesperi Kotkaniemi could be the player heading out of Raleigh in due time. […]

It’s been a miserable campaign for the Winnipeg Jets, who have followed up their President’s Trophy-winning 2024-25 season by sitting 15-21-5 and dead last in National Hockey League standings through 41 games. It’s been a remarkable fall from grace for a roster that was once again hoping to compete for the Stanley Cup come April. […]

The Winnipeg Jets are in the midst of an abysmal 10-game losing streak after falling 4-3 to the Vegas Golden Knights on home ice on Tuesday — but they’re dealing with something bigger than hockey after a scary injury to defenseman Haydn Fleury. Fleury slid hard into the end boards in the first period of […]

The Winnipeg Jets are hoping to get back on track as they take on the Vegas Golden Knights on Tuesday. Unfortunately, the focus of this contest in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, is not on the game itself. Many are waiting for an update on the status of veteran defenseman Haydn Fleury. During the contest, Fleury had […]

The Winnipeg Jets’ struggles this season are difficult to understand. The group fell short in last year’s playoffs, but they took home the President’s Trophy for the NHL’s best regular season team, and also had the league’s MVP in net with Connor Hellebuyck. Despite some playoff shortcomings, the future looked bright for the small-market team. […]

The good news for the Winnipeg Jets after Mark Scheifele’s Olympics snub is that they’ll be getting an inspired scorer. It already worked for the Jets, as their star had two goals and an assist on New Year’s Day after learning he hadn’t made the team. Scheifele joins a long list of players who should’ve […]

The 2025-26 NHL season is entering its second phase. On the ice, we are right at the halfway point in the season. Teams will soon play their 41st game, meaning they are exactly 50% through their season. Off the ice, the calendar is about to flip to 2026. With this in mind, it’s time for […]

The Winnipeg Jets have fallen down the standings in the NHL after a rather promising start. At this time, they are the fifth-worst team in the NHL on points. And only two points separate them from the last-place Seattle Kraken. Despite this, talk around the league is that Winnipeg is looking to trade talented prospect […]

The Winnipeg Jets have been without star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck for several weeks after he underwent surgery to repair his knee. However, it appears his return from injury is on the horizon, as it sounds like there is a chance he could play on Saturday against the Washington Capitals. Reports indicate that Hellebuyck, who is […]

The Winnipeg Jets finish a home stand with the Washington Capitals and Ottawa Senators coming up. When they play Ottawa on Prime Monday Night Hockey, they’ll be back in front of Canada’s audience without their best player. While Connor Hellebuyck has been out for the Jets, they have tumbled to the bottom of the standings. […]

The Buffalo Sabres and Winnipeg Jets are squaring off on Prime Monday Night Hockey to kick off December. While Buffalo is well out of the Atlantic Division lead right now, the Eastern Conference is tight from top to bottom. The Sabres are getting Josh Norris back from injury for the Jets matchup, which could finally […]

The Carolina Hurricanes are fighting for a postseason spot, but all the focus is on Andrei Svechnikov. The young winger has seen his ice time dip at points early in the 2025-26 season. Moreover, he struggled early on, failing to score in his first eight games of the season. He has since rebounded, but there […]

The Winnipeg Jets are treading water without reigning Hart, Vezina and Jennings Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck in the lineup — but it doesn’t look like there will be any reinforcements coming in his absence. As hockey insider Chris Johnston reported on the latest episode of TSN’s Insider Trading on Thursday, the Jets aren’t looking to […]

The Winnipeg Jets suffered a brutal blow when Connor Hellebuyck’s knee injury caused him to undergo arthroscopic surgery. Last year’s Hart, Vezina, and Jennings Trophy winner has to miss 4-6 weeks with the injury, something the team can’t afford. They are already three points out of the wild-card race in the Western Conference and sitting […]

We could be watching Dallas Stars superstar Mikko Rantanen turn into a villain in front of our very eyes. One of the most skilled players in the NHL made headlines for all of the wrong reasons in Week 7, throwing two dirty hits from behind in a span of three games — the latter of […]

The unfortunate reality of the NHL salary cap is that the Winnipeg Jets would have a difficult time fitting all their expiring contracts under the limit. Winnipeg had a window to win a championship with its entire core group. However, when Nikolaj Ehlers’ contract expired after last season, the Jets had to let him sign […]

The Winnipeg Jets are one of the best teams in the NHL early in 2025-26. It certainly helps that reigning Hart Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck is in between the pipes. Unfortunately, Winnipeg is about to be tested in a major way, as the league MVP won’t be there to stop pucks for an extended period […]

It has been an interesting career for Brad Lambert with the Winnipeg Jets. He burst onto the scene with 55 points in 64 games in his rookie AHL season. However, Lambert has never been able to put it together at the NHL level. He also suffered through a 20-point decrease in his second AHL season, […]

The Winnipeg Jets lost some big names over the summer, but they have made sure another one doesn’t leave town. Adam Lowry signed a five-year contract extension with Winnipeg on Wednesday night. This contract, worth a total of $25 million, kicks in once the 2026-27 league year begins on July 1. Lowry has spent his […]

The Winnipeg Jets are one of the best teams in the NHL at this time. Winnipeg lost Nikolaj Ehlers in NHL Free Agency, leaving many to expect they would take a step back. This has not happened to this point, and on Wednesday, they ensured another important piece of theirs would not leave town. Captain […]

The Columbus Blue Jackets (10-8-2) couldn’t contain their recent momentum, which halted after falling 5-2 to the Winnipeg Jets (12-7-0). The disappointing loss also overshadowed a massive individual milestone for Zach Werenski, who recorded the Blue Jackets’ second goal at 4:04 of the third period. Werenski, with 119 goals and 281 assists, skated in 587 games, […]

Exactly five months ago, on a warm June evening in Sunrise, the Florida Panthers captured their second consecutive NHL championship. It wasn’t quite as thrilling as the year before, when the Edmonton Oilers erased a 3-0 deficit before coming up just short in a one-goal Game 7 — but it was a terrific series nonetheless. […]

In October of 1997, the Vancouver Canucks and Anaheim Ducks kicked off the NHL Global Series with back-to-back games in front of 10,500 spectators at the Yoyogi Arena in Tokyo, Japan. Since that debut contest — which was won for the Canucks by Pavel Bure — there have been 45 other international regular-season contests, spanning […]

The Winnipeg Jets appear to be on the verge of securing a long-term contract extension with captain Adam Lowry. The 32-year-old center made his season debut on Tuesday after missing the first four weeks recovering from offseason hip surgery, and TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reported that discussions between the team and Lowry are progressing […]

The Winnipeg Jets have started their 2025-26 NHL campaign 9-3 and are just a point back of the top spot in league standings — and that’s all been without the services of captain Adam Lowry. The veteran forward will rejoin the lineup for the first time this season on Tuesday night against the Kings in […]

The 2025-26 National Hockey League season is off to a terrific start. But don’t take our word for it — let the evidence speak for itself. There were 109 goals scored during Frozen Frenzy last Tuesday, the third most in a single day in NHL history. If you ask any hockey fan what makes the […]

Jonathan Toews has made a return to the NHL this year and he hopes to become a key player for the Winnipeg Jets as they make a run at the elusive Stanley Cup. Jonathan Toews on facing the Blackhawks for the first time tonight in Winnipeg, his time in Chicago and what he sees in […]

It’ll be a special moment for Winnipeg Jets’ center Jonathan Toews returns to play against the Chicago Blackhawks on Tuesday night. The former Blackhawks captain led the franchise to three Stanley Cups before having to take years off with health issues, and it’ll now be a full-circle moment at the United Center. Toews’ return will […]

The National Hockey League is close to wrapping up its third official week of 2025-26, and — finally — every team has both won and lost a game. Last year at this time, the Winnipeg Jets remained undefeated, while the San Jose Sharks still hadn’t found a way to bank two points. It’s a little […]

The Winnipeg Jets have a new all-time leader in points with the franchise. In a 5-2 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Thursday, Mark Scheifele tied the franchise record for most points in a career. On Saturday, he broke the record held by Blake Wheeler. “He means a lot to me and I owe a […]

Jonathan Toews has made a return to the NHL after a full two-year absence from competition. He is playing center for the Winnipeg Jets and he has gotten off to a rather inconspicuous start. The former Chicago Blackhawks captain has played four games for the Jets and he has just one assist. However, Toews is […]

When it’s all said and done, Mark Scheifele will likely hold many scoring records in the Winnipeg Jets’ franchise history. The Jets don’t have the most unattainable records given the fact that they moved from the Atlanta Thrashers’ organization, but there was still a lofty 812 points for Scheifele to catch to tie the all-time […]

Winnipeg Jets coach Scott Arniel saw untapped potential when his squad took on Matthew Schaefer and his New York Islanders on Monday afternoon. Arniel likened the 2025 first-overall pick to one of the best defensemen in the league after he added yet another assist to his hot start to his 2025-26 rookie campaign. “I just made […]
