With Gustav Nyquist sidelined due to an undisclosed injury, Lambert will draw back into Winnipeg's lineup on Saturday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Lambert, the 30th-overall pick in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, has yet to make his mark at the NHL level, scoring two points (0G / 2A) in eight games combined over the last three seasons.

Nyquist exited Thursday's 6-3 win over the Chicago Blackhawks early in the first period with an undisclosed injury after playing only 1:28 time-on-ice. The 36-year-old has yet to find his rhythm in his first season with the Jets, scoring only five points (0G / 5A) in 11 games. That said, he was riding a two-game point streak, with two points (0G / 2A), in two games before his injury.

The Jets are off to an impressive 7-3-0 start to the 2025-26 season and will roll with Hellebuyck between the pipes on Thursday against the Chicago Blackhawks. Hellebuyck uncharacteristically allowed five goals in his opening contest of the season, but quickly returned to his Vezina Trophy caliber, posting a stellar 1.9 GAA and .937 SV% in his seven games since (5-2-0). The Jets enter Thursday's contest as significant -231 home favorites against a Blackhawks team off to a surprising 5-3-2 start this season.

The 6-3-0 Jets will have Hellebuyck tending the twine on Tuesday against the Minnesota Wild. After a poor season-opening game, allowing five goals on 32 shots (.865 SV%) in a 5-4 loss to the Dallas Stars, Hellebuyck has returned to the form that has made him a three-time Vezina Trophy winner. The 32-year-old netminder has an excellent 2.16 GAA and .928 SV% in seven games this season (4-3-0). The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as slight -106 road favorites against a struggling Minnesota team that has been outscored 28-39 this season (3-5-2).

Lowry underwent hip surgery earlier in the offseason with a five-to-six month recovery timeline. The 32-year-old Lowry practiced on Tuesday as he nears his 2025-26 season debut after putting up 16 goals, 34 points and a +18 plus/minus in 73 games played in 2024-25.

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).
