Quick Summary

The Winnipeg Jets made five more roster cuts ahead of their pre-season finale by placing four players on waivers and directly assigning another player to the AHL’s Manitoba Moose. The affected players include defenceman Isaak Phillips and forwards Nikita Chibrikov, Parker Ford, Noah Gregor, with goalie Thomas Milic going straight to the Moose without needing waivers. With these moves, the Jets now have 26 players in training camp, leaving them three cuts away from reaching the NHL’s 23-man limit by Monday ahead of their season opener a week later.

Story summary

The Winnipeg Jets moved closer to setting their opening night roster by cutting five more players ahead of their pre-season finale on Friday. The team placed four players—defenceman Isaak Phillips and forwards Nikita Chibrikov, Parker Ford, and Noah Gregor—on waivers for loan to the AHL’s Manitoba Moose, while goalie Thomas Milic was directly assigned there without needing waivers. This leaves the Jets with 26 healthy players in training camp, including 15 forwards, nine defencemen, and two goalies, requiring only three more cuts to reach the NHL limit of 23 by Monday.

Additionally, the San Jose Sharks put former Jets goalie Eric Comrie on waivers, hinting that the Jets may still seek a backup netminder for Stuart Skinner after Connor Hellebuyck’s suspension for failing to report to training camp. The Jets’ final exhibition game against the Colorado Avalanche is scheduled for Friday night, with their regular season starting exactly one week later.
