The 30th overall pick of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, Nadeau has gotten off to a hot start to the season with the AHL's Chicago Wolves, tallying two goals and two assists through his first three games. Nadeau made his NHL debut last season and appeared in three games with the Hurricanes, registering zero goals and one assist.

Mrtka was Buffalo's 2025 1st round pick (9th overall) and scored point (0G / 1A) in four games with the Rochester Americans (AHL) this season. The 18-year-old Czech defenseman spent 2024-25 as an import player with Seattle (WHL), where he excelled with three goals and 35 points in 43 games played.

The Jets will turn to Comrie on Friday in the tail end of their back-to-back after seeing their five-game winning streak snap in yesterday's 3-0 loss to the Seattle Kraken. The 30-year-old Comrie has only played once this season but was brilliant in the effort, saving 33 of 35 shots (.943 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the New York Islanders on October 13th. The Jets enter Friday's contest as -134 home favorites against a Flames team that trails the league offensively, scoring only 13 goals through eight games (1.63 GF / GP).

Reichel was a high-end prospect for the Blackhawks, drafted 17th-overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, that has trouble acclimating to the NHL in the Blackhawks organization. The 23-year-old was regularly a healthy scratch and saw limited ice time. He scored 58 points (22G / 36A) in 174 career games with the Blackhawks and was off to a strong start in the 2025-26 season, scoring four points (2G / 2A) in five games.

Blueger scored a goal in Vancouver's 4-3 win over the Washington Capitals on Sunday, but also suffered an undisclosed injury and has been sidelined since. The 31-year-old Blueger had 26 points (8G / 18A) in 82 games last season.

Woll has been away from the team for the past four weeks, since the preseason, to tend to personal matters, but has officially rejoined the team. He started in exactly half of Toronto's games last season, posting a 2.73 GAA and .909 SV%, and was likely poised to see similar totals in 2025-26. There is no timeline on when Woll might return to game action, but with Toronto's up-and-down 3-3-1 start to the season, they will happily welcome the services of Woll, hoping it solidifies their goaltending position.

Kadri played 22:46 time-on-ice in yesterday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens, his second-highest total of the season. He was absent from practice on Thursday for maintenance but will not miss any time, remaining in the lineup for Friday's game against the Winnipeg Jets. The 35-year-old Kadri has four points (0G / 4A) in eight games this season.

Wolf put together arguably his best start of the 2025-26 season on Wednesday, saving 26 of 28 shots (.929 SV%), but was unable to shake the Flames' losing ways, falling 2-1 in overtime to the Montreal Canadiens, extending their losing skid to seven games (0-6-1). After finishing the 2024-25 season as the runner-up for the Calder Trophy, Wolf has struggled early this season, posting a 3.61 GAA and .875 SV% in seven games (1-5-1). The Flames enter Friday's contest as +121 road underdogs against a Winnipeg Jets team that was defeated 3-0 by the Seattle Kraken last night.

Yegor Sharangovich will draw back into Calgary's lineup on Friday against the Winnipeg Jets, sending Kirkland to the sidelines as a healthy scratch. The 29-year-old Kirkland scored eight points (2G / 6A) in a career-high 21 games last season. He has zero points through five games in 2025-26.

Justin Kirkland will be a healthy scratch on Friday against the Winnipeg Jets, allowing Sharangovich to return from a two-game absence. After a breakout first season with the Flames in 2023-24, scoring 59 points (31G / 28A), the 27-year-old Sharangovich has had trouble reclaiming that scoring touch. He is averaging 14:38 time-on-ice and has one point (0G / 1A) in six games this season.

Lyon had his first night off of the season in Buffalo's previous game, but he will return to the crease on Friday against the Toronto Maple Leafs. After losing their first three games of the season, the Sabres have rebounded, winning three of four, due in part to strong play from Lyon. The 32-year-old netminder is sporting a solid 2.55 GAA and .924 SV% in six games (2-4-0). The Sabres enter Friday's contest as +111 home underdogs against a 3-3-1 Maple Leafs team.

Minnesota has been outscored 27-21 through eight games this season (3-4-1) and will hope for an improved defensive effort on Saturday, turning to Gustavsson between the pipes against the Utah Mammoth. The 27-year-old Gustavsson has a serviceable 3.04 GAA and .902 SV% in six games (4-2-0), but he was excellent in his most recent outing despite a 4-1 loss, saving 31 of 34 shots (.912 SV%) against the New Jersey Devils.

The Jets will likely turn to Comrie on Friday in the tail end of their back-to-back after seeing their five-game winning streak snap in yesterday's 3-0 loss to the Seattle Kraken. The 30-year-old Comrie has only played once this season but was brilliant in the effort, saving 33 of 35 shots (.943 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the New York Islanders on October 13th. The Jets enter Friday's contest as -134 home favorites against a Flames team that trails the league offensively, scoring only 13 goals through eight games (1.63 GF / GP).

Wolf put together arguably his best start of the 2025-26 season on Wednesday, saving 26 of 28 shots (.929 SV%), but was unable to shake the Flames' losing ways, falling 2-1 in overtime to the Montreal Canadiens, extending their losing skid to seven games (0-6-1). After finishing the 2024-25 season as the runner-up for the Calder Trophy, Wolf has struggled early this season, posting a 3.61 GAA and .875 SV% in seven games (1-5-1). The Flames enter Friday's contest as +121 road underdogs against a Winnipeg Jets team that was defeated 3-0 by the Seattle Kraken last night.

Danielson has yet to play in the 2025-26 season, recovering from an injury, and will make his debut at the AHL level with the Grand Rapids Griffins. The 21-year-old forward was drafted ninth-overall by the Red Wings in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft. He had 39 points (12G / 27A) in 71 games with Grand Rapids last season.

Warren was drafted in the sixth round (166 overall) by the Minnesota Wild in the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. The 24-year-old defenseman has spent the previous three seasons in the AHL and has five points (2G / 3A) in four games with the Bridgeport Islanders in 2025-26.
