Comrie made 28 saves in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Penguins.
The 30-year-old netminder cruised to the victory as the Jets scored their first goal just 15 seconds into the game and built a 4-0 lead before Sidney Crosby finally solved Comrie on a Pens power play late in the second period. Comrie predictably isn't getting much work behind Connor Hellebuyck, but he's taking advantage of his opportunities between the pipes, going 3-0-0 with a 2.33 GAA and .929 save percentage.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Starting Saturday
Rotowire
Comrie will patrol the home crease against Pittsburgh on Saturday, according to Penguins play-by-play announcer Josh Getzoff.
Comrie has a 2-0-0 record this season while turning aside 63 of the 68 shots he has faced. He likely won't play much behind Connor Hellebuyck this campaign, but Comrie has been a decent backup for the team over the years. Pittsburgh has scored 3.67 goals per game in 2025-26, ranking fourth in the league.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Comes away with win
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 30 of 33 shots in Friday's 5-3 win over the Flames.
Comrie got the job done in the second half of a back-to-back despite allowing a goal in each period. The 30-year-old netminder has allowed five goals on 68 shots over his first two starts this season, winning both of them. He won't play much as backup to reigning MVP and Vezina winner Connor Hellebuyck, but the Jets' strong structure makes Comrie a quality backup for streaming in fantasy when he gets the nod. Look for Hellebuyck to face the high-octane Mammoth on Sunday.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Expected to start Friday
Rotowire
Comrie is expected to start at home against the Flames on Friday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
The Jets are playing the second half of a back-to-back set Friday, and Comrie is slated to make his second start of the year after Connor Hellebuyck started against Seattle on Thursday. Comrie was effective in his season debut against the Islanders on Oct. 13, turning aside 33 of 35 shots (.943 save percentage) in a 5-2 victory.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Picks up first win Monday
Rotowire
Comrie made 33 of 35 saves in Monday's 5-2 win over the Islanders.
Comrie posted a clean first period before allowing two goals in the second frame to New York's Jean-Gabriel Pageau and Emil Heineman. By the time of Heineman's goal, however, the Jets had a commanding 4-2 lead and Comrie was able to coast through the final period. With his first win of the season under his belt, the 30-year-old netminder is set to maintain his role as the primary backup to reigning Hart and Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck. Despite his anticipated limit of starting opportunities this season, Comrie is a solid streaming option in all fantasy formats whenever he's set to guard Winnipeg's crease. He will likely step in for Hellebuyck during consecutive game nights, but could draw certain spot starts depending on the matchup and Hellebuyck's availability.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Starting Monday
Rotowire
Comrie will defend the road net against the Islanders on Monday, according to Andrew Gross of Newsday.
Comrie will see his first game action of the season after Connor Hellebuyck went 1-1-0 to begin the year. The 30-year-old Comrie posted a 9-10-1 record with two shutouts, a 2.39 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 20 regular-season appearances in 2024-25.

Jets' Eric Comrie: First off at morning skate
Rotowire
Comrie is slated to draw the home start in Tuesday's preseason game versus Edmonton, according to Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Comrie heads into the 2025-26 campaign locked in as the No. 2 option between the pipes behind Connor Hellebuyck for the second time in the last four years. The 30-year-old Comrie was a serviceable backup option in 2024-25, as he posted a 2.39 GAA and a .914 save percentage, but he wasn't provided with much support -- he had a 9-10-1 record over 20 regular-season appearances.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Plays third period again Friday
Rotowire
Comrie stopped all four shots he faced in relief of Connor Hellebuyck in Friday's 5-2 loss to the Blues in Game 6.
This was Comrie's third relief appearance in the postseason. He's allowed just one goal on 13 shots over those three outings, which total 42:59 of ice time. Hellebuyck's ongoing road struggles have taken the headlines in the first round, but there's virtually no chance the Jets will turn to Comrie for Game 7 on Sunday in Winnipeg.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Drawing home start
Rotowire
Comrie will tend the home twine Sunday versus the Oilers, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports.
Comrie posted a 26-save shutout in his last start against the Golden Knights on April 3. The 29-year-old has a 9-9-1 record, 2.36 GAA and .914 save percentage over 19 appearances this season.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Stellar in shutout win
Rotowire
Comrie posted a 26-save shutout in Thursday's 4-0 win over the Golden Knights.
Comrie gave Connor Hellebuyck a breather in a tough locale and then proceeded to steal the show. This was the fourth shutout of Comrie's career, two of which have come this season as he continues to play well in the backup role for the Jets. The 29-year-old is now 9-9-1 with a 2.36 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 19 appearances, which matches his career high. He'll likely get another start or two over the Jets' final six regular-season games to help keep Hellebuyck fresh for the playoffs. He needs one more appearance and two more wins to set career highs in each category.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Expected to start Thursday
Rotowire
Comrie is set to start on the road against Vegas on Thursday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.
Comrie has an 8-9-1 record, 2.49 GAA and .909 save percentage across 18 appearances in 2024-25. He's used primarily when Winnipeg wants to give Connor Hellebuyck a breather, and Comrie consequently appeared in just three March games. The 29-year-old Comrie is drawing a tough assignment against the Golden Knights, who rank fifth in the NHL in goals per game with 3.39.

Jets' Eric Comrie: With team on road trip
Rotowire
Comrie (personal) was on the ice for the morning skate, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press, which indicates he'll be available to back up Connor Hellebuyck against the Kings on Tuesday.
Comrie was reported to have stayed in Winnipeg while awaiting the birth of his child, but he'll seemingly be available Tuesday after joining the team on the ice in Los Angeles. Chris Driedger was brought up from AHL Manitoba on Monday in the event that Comrie was unavailable in the short term, so Winnipeg had a backup plan in place behind Connor Hellebuyck.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Staying back in Winnipeg
Rotowire
Comrie is going to remain in Winnipeg ahead of Tuesday's road game versus the Kings for the birth of his child, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports.
With Comrie unavailable to serve as the backup against Los Angeles, the Jets recalled Chris Driedger from AHL Manitoba on Monday. The team didn't immediately provide an update on whether Comrie would rejoin the team later in its three-game road trip, but with no back-to-backs on the short-term schedule, he may not miss any starts regardless.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Subpar showing Sunday
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 12 of 16 shots in Sunday's 5-3 loss to the Sabres.
Comrie had won his previous two starts, but he wasn't able to extend that run, and he delivered a subpar showing in this contest by any standard you want to look at it. This was the first game he posted a save percentage below the .860 mark -- it's not like he's been having a woeful season, so fantasy managers shouldn't overreact to just one bad game from a backup netminder. Depending on how the playoff race shakes out, Comrie should get at least one or two more starts before the end of the regular season, though his workload is likely to depend on how the Jets want to approach giving Connor Hellebuyck rest heading into the postseason.

Comrie has won his last two outings, stopping 35 of 37 shots. He has posted a record of 8-8-1 with one shutout, a 2.39 GAA and a .914 save percentage across 17 appearances this season. Buffalo sits 12th in the league with 3.07 goals per game in 2024-25 and lost 4-1 against Minnesota on Saturday.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Gets overtime win Sunday
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 14 of 15 shots in Sunday's 3-2 overtime win over the Kraken.
Comrie didn't play the full game -- he was pulled by the concussion spotter during the first period, but he was ultimately cleared to return to the ice. Connor Hellebuyck allowed a goal on six shots while Comrie was getting checked out, and while the Jets struggled in the first period, they buckled down to get the win in overtime. Comrie has won four of his last five outings, allowing a total of seven goals in those games. He's now at an 8-8-1 record with a 2.39 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 17 appearances. The 29-year-old typically doesn't see enough of a workload to be on fantasy rosters, but he can be streamed pretty much any time he's tabbed to start. The Jets don't have any back-to-back sets over the next week, so it's unclear when his next game action will be.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Set to face Seattle
Rotowire
Comrie is expected to guard the road goal against the Kraken on Sunday, according to Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.
Comrie occupied the starter's crease during Sunday's morning skate and was the first goaltender off the ice. He has won four of his last five outings, surrendering only eight goals on 128 shots. He has a 7-8-1 record with one shutout, a 2.46 GAA and a .914 save percentage through 16 appearances this season. Seattle is tied for 14th in the league with 2.99 goals per game in 2024-25.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Fourth win in last five starts
Rotowire
Comrie made 21 saves in a 4-1 win over Philadelphia on Thursday.
He came within 2:42 of his second shutout of the season. Comrie is 4-1-0 with one shutout and just eight goals allowed in his last five games. He's a strong spot start option for the rest of the season. Connor Hellebuyck needs to be strong for the postseason, something he wasn't last year. So, Comrie will step into the blue paint for Winnipeg a bit more often as the regular season winds down.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Steady in loss
Rotowire
Comrie allowed two goals on 30 shots in Thursday's 2-1 loss to the Predators.
Comrie's three-game winning streak came to a close. This was the first time since Jan. 10-11 that the Jets have been involved in a back-to-back -- Comrie's last four starts (3-1-0) came with at least a day between games. The 29-year-old netminder has done alright in a light-duty backup role, going 6-8-1 with a 2.56 GAA and a .911 save percentage across 15 appearances. The Jets are back home for a game Saturday versus the Flyers, but their next back-to-back is March 6 and 7 versus the Flyers and Devils, respectively, so Comrie shouldn't have to wait very long for his next start.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Guarding cage Thursday
Rotowire
Comrie will protect the road goal versus the Predators on Thursday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Comrie will get the second half of a back-to-back after Connor Hellebuyck was in goal for Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Senators. Comrie has won his last three outings, allowing five goals on 75 shots in that span. The 29-year-old has a favorable matchup Thursday -- the Predators have scored just 13 goals over their last six games.
