Overview

  • TSN’s Chris Johnston reports the Jets are not shopping for a netminder and will lean on Eric Comrie with prospect Thomas Milic backing up.
  • Comrie has started all three games since the injury and lost each in regulation, posting a 3.02 goals-against average and .897 save percentage this season.
  • Milic was recalled after a strong AHL start with a 2.14 GAA and .921 save percentage in nine outings, and he could debut during the back-to-back versus Carolina and Nashville.
  • Connor Hellebuyck underwent arthroscopic knee surgery and is expected to be out approximately four to six weeks.
  • Winnipeg sits 12-10-0 and outside a playoff spot, and Johnston noted Brad Lambert and Ville Heinola as potential trade chips if management later pursues moves.
