Barron (undisclosed) will be a game-time decision vs. Seattle on Thursday.

Barron has been productive early in the 2025-26 season for the Jets, scoring five points (3G / 2A) in six games. The 26-year-old forward scored a career-high 21 points (8G / 13A) in 70 games in the 2022-23 season. It's unclear if Barron will be ready to play when the Jets return to action on Thursday against the Seattle Kraken.

Hellebuyck will start vs. Seattle on Thursday.

The Jets are riding a five-game winning streak and hope to extend it on Thursday, turning to Hellebuyck between the pipes against the Seattle Kraken. After an out-of-character season debut for Hellebuyck, allowing five goals on 37 shots (.865 SV%) in a 5-4 loss to the Dallas Stars, Hellebuyck has returned to his Vezina-caliber ways, winning four straight while posting an absurd 1.50 GAA and .947 SV%. The Jets enter Thursday's contest as significant -225 home favorites against a Kraken team that has been outscored 23-19 this season (3-2-2).

Hellebuyck was the first goalie off the ice at Winnipeg's morning skate.

After allowing five goals on 32 shots (.865 SV%) in Winnipeg's season-opening 5-4 loss to the Dallas Stars, Hellebuyck has returned to form in three games since, allowing two or fewer goals in three straight (3-0-0), posting an impressive .938 SV%. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck, the two-time reigning Vezina trophy winner, returns to the crease on Monday against the Calgary Flames. The Jets enter Monday's contest as -144 road favorites.

Hellebuyck will start in Philadelphia on Thursday.

Hellebuyck, the two-time reigning Vezina Trophy winner, has played only two games this season, both with contrasting results. The 32-year-old netminder allowed five goals on 37 shots (.865 SV%) in a 5-4 loss to the Dallas Stars, which he followed up by saving 30 of 32 (.938 SV%) in his next outing, a 3-2 win over the Los Angeles Kings. Hellebuyck and the Jets will look for more consistency on Thursday, entering their contest against the Philadelphia Flyers as -134 road favourites.

Koepke practiced in full on Wednesday after leaving Winnipeg's previous game with a lower-body injury.

Koepke exited Monday's contest against the New York Islanders after only 2:50 time-on-ice due to a lower-body injury. The 27-year-old Koepke recorded his first point of the season, an assist, before suffering the injury.

Fleury (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.

Fleury departed Saturday's game after taking a shot off the "side of the kneecap" according to head coach Scott Arniel. The 29-year-old Fleury did not play in Winnipeg's following game but appears to be nearing a return after practicing on Wednesday.

Miller will make his season debut on Monday vs. the Islanders.

Haydn Fleury (lower body) is day-to-day and will not play on Monday, allowing Miller to draw into the lineup for his season debut. The 32-year-old Miller played 60 games with the Jets last season, averaging 14:31 time-on-ice and scoring 15 points (4G / 11A).

Comrie will start on Long Island on Monday.

The Jets are off to a 1-1-0 start to the 2025-26 season and will rest Connor Hellebuyck for the first time, allowing Comrie to tend the twine on Monday against the New York Islanders. As per usual, Hellebuyck had a heavy workload in 2024-25, but Comrie was excellent when called upon, posting a 2.39 GAA and .914 SV% in 20 games (9-10-1). The Jets enter Monday's contest as -123 road underdogs against the Islanders.
