There is mutual interest between the Islanders and Logan Stanley on a one-year, $1.5-million contract, Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman reported Sunday morning. The six-foot-seven left-shot defenceman is coming off a career-best season when he tallied 26 points (nine goals, 17 assists) over 76 games split between the Winnipeg Jets and Buffalo Sabres Stanley was shipped to the Sabres along with Luke Schenn at the 2026 trade deadline for...

Elliotte Friedman connected the Golden Knights to the Columbus Blue Jackets winger during Friday's episode of the 32 Thoughts podcast.

The Colorado Avalanche didn’t ice their most-skilled lineup when they faced the Winnipeg Jets four nights ago at Canada Life Centre, and it showed. Winnipeg scored a goal in each period, and goaltender Connor Hellebuyck Stuart Skinner turned aside thirty-one of thirty-two shots for a 3-1 victory. A vastly different lineup welcomed the Jets to […]
The Winnipeg Jets are ending their pre-season schedule with a loss. The Jets dropped their final exhibition game 5-2 to the Colorado Avalanche on Friday in Denver, finishing the pre-season 1-3. The Jets opened the scoring off a Nino Niederreiter power-play goal in the first period, and a Vladislav Namestnikov goal restored the lead in the second period after the Avalanche tied it up. That was the last time the Jets would be ahead, though, as Colorado stormed back with four unanswered goals ove...

The Winnipeg Jets don't appear to be interested in acquiring Alexander Nikishin from the Carolina Hurricanes in a Connor Hellebuyck trade.
It's rumored the Montreal Canadiens are interested in Winnipeg Jets center Mark Scheifele, but acquiring him could be easier said than done. Meanwhile, the ongoing uncertainty about Jason Robertson's future with the Dallas Stars has again prompted trade speculation.

The Winnipeg Jets will be playing their 4th and final exhibition game of the National Hockey League’s 2026-27 season on Friday night. Things only started up a little over a week ago, it flew by so quickly….guess that is what happens when there are 2 less contests to schedule. Despite the apparent rush to get to the regular season games…our own hockey team will actually have to wait a full week before they kick things off by hosting the Boston Bruins at the Canada Life Centre on October 2nd. ...
WINNIPEG — Despite a growing number of critics, the Winnipeg Jets remain steadfast in their belief that a major rebound is on the horizon. This will be no easy task, of course. Star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck did the Jets no favours by making his trade request public and refusing to report to camp. The coinciding suspension has cast a dark cloud over the entire organization, only adding to the disappointment of last year’s 35-35-12 effort that saw Winnipeg finish seventh in the Central Divis...
The Winnipeg Jets have been trying to trade goaltender Connor Hellebuyck for months, and haven't been able to find a deal they like. Hellebuyck demanded a trade during his exit interview after last season, and if he's moved at some point early on, it sounds like there's been plenty of back and forth with the San Jose Sharks. While there's certainly been plenty of discussions between the two clubs, the Jets are asking for young center Michael Misa in the trade package, which is something Sharks...
Big topic of conversation today was the merging of the Jets 1.0 and 2.0 records which we discussed with Josh Morrissey who joked he’s lost six records with this move. He also spoke about special teams and more.
The Connor Hellebuyck situation drags on, as the three-time Vezina-winning goalie is currently suspended for not reporting to camp. He wants a trade, but the Jets, of course, want a huge return. If Hellebuyck does eventually get moved, it could have a domino effect on the Winnipeg roster. Sportsnet's Nick Kypreos has unveiled his first trade board of the new season, and Mark Schiefele is the most shocking name to pop up. With so much attention on Hellebuyck, very few are asking what this...
