Goalie Start
Hellebuyck will start Monday in Dallas.
Hellebuyck will draw his second start of the early season as Winnipeg heads to Dallas for a Central division matchup. The Jets' netminder was sensational in Winnipeg's opening night victory over the New York Rangers, stopping 40 of 41 shots en route to a 4-1 victory. He will look to keep his hot play going after finishing 2021-22 with a .910 SV%.
The Wild recalled Mason Shaw from Iowa (AHL).
Shaw was a fourth-round pick in 2017 and has appeared in three career NHL games (all in 2022). After posting 52 points (19G / 33A) in 62 AHL games last year, Shaw has one goal in two games to start this season.

Comrie led the Sabres onto the ice for warmups.

Goalie Start
Kahkonen will start Saturday vs. the Blackhawks.
San Jose's backup goaltender will draw his second start of the season for the winless Sharks (0-3-0) Saturday. The 26-year-old Finnish netminder will be hoping for a bounce-back performance after allowing three goals on 18 shots (.833 SV%) against Nashville last weekend in Prague.

Hellebuyck will get the nod for Winnepeg as they open their season against the New York Rangers Friday. The 29-year-old faces a lot of rubber as he led the league in Saves (1962) in 2021-22 on way to a .910 SV% with 29 Wins in 66 GP.

Hellebuyck is in the starter's crease at the Jets morning skate.

The Jets placed Mason Appleton (upper-body) on IR.
Appleton has been dealing with an upper-body injury and was moved to IR retroactive to October 5th. The move would still allow him to be activated ahead of the Jets season opener, and was likely made in order to open up a roster spot for Axel Jonsson-Fjällby.
The Jets have claimed Axel Jonsson-Fjallby off of waivers from the Capitals.
Jonsson-Fjallby was a fifth-round pick in 2016 and split his 2022 season between the AHL and NHL. During his time with the Capitals, Jonsson-Fjallby had two goals and two assists in 23 games. He will likely battle with Dominic Toninato and Morgan Barron for playing time in the Jets' bottom-6.
Goalie Start
Kaapo Kahkonen will Start Saturday for San Jose vs Nashville.
Kahkonen will get the second of the back-to-back starts for the Global Series in Prague. The 26-year-old will get his first nod between the crease this season after posting a .916 SV% and 2.86 GAA across 16 games after getting dealt to the Sharks' at the trade deadline in 2021-22.
The Jets have re-signed David Gustafsson to a two-year contract.
The Jets have re-signed Mason Appleton to a three-year contract.
The Kings have re-signed Gabriel Vilardi to a one-year contract.
The Kings have re-signed Jaret Anderson-Dolan to a one-year, two-way contract.
The Predators have signed Nino Niederreiter to a two-year deal worth $8.0 million ($4.0M AAV).
The Sharks have re-signed Kaapo Kahkonen to a two-year contract worth $5.5 million ($2.75M AAV).
The Jets have signed Elias Salmonsson to a three-year, entry-level contract.
The Jets selected Salomonsson in the second-round (No.55 overall) of this summer's NHL Draft. The 17-year-old defenseman had 11 goals and 11 assists (22 points) in 35 games with Skelleftea AIK Jr. (J20 SuperElit) in 2022.
The Lightning have signed Haydn Fleury to a two-year contract.
Fleury was the No.7 overall pick in 2014, was traded to Anaheim in 2021 and claimed in the expansion draft by Seattle later that year. He had two goals and two assists (four points) in 36 games with the Kraken in 2021-22. The Lightning lost Ryan McDonagh and Jan Rutta this offseason, so bringing in Ian Cole and Fleury on cheap contracts will help try and replace those two.
The Stars have signed Colin Miller to a two-year, $3.7 million contract.
