Comrie stopped 27 of 30 shots in Sunday's 3-0 loss to the Wild.
Comrie started for a third straight game due to the absence of Connor Hellebuyck (knee), and once again, the results weren't encouraging. He's gone 1-2-0 with a 3.02 GAA and an .887 save percentage in his three starts since Hellebuyck went down. Expect him to remain as the Jets' No. 1 goaltender until Hellebuyck is ready to return, which is not expected to occur for at least four to six weeks at a minimum.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Classified as day-to-day
Rotowire
Head coach Scott Arniel conveyed Sunday that Pionk (lower body) is "day-to-day for now," according to Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.
Pionk is set to be evaluated by the team's medical staff Monday. Should he miss any time, Luke Schenn and Colin Miller will fill bottom-four roles on the right side. The Jets will kick off a five-game road trip Wednesday against the Capitals.
Pionk (lower body) won't return to Sunday's game against Minnesota.
Pionk logged only 2:05 of ice time before exiting Sunday's matchup. He entered the contest with one goal, four assists, 43 shots on net, 36 blocked shots and 41 hits in 20 appearances. If Pionk misses time, Luke Schenn will probably return to the lineup.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Facing Wild
Rotowire
Comrie will patrol the home crease against Minnesota on Sunday, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Comrie is coming off a 24-save effort in Friday's 4-3 loss to Carolina. He has a 4-2-0 record while allowing 17 goals on 169 shots through six appearances this season. Comrie will see plenty of action due to the absence of Connor Hellebuyck (knee). Minnesota sits 25th in the league with 2.86 goals per game this campaign.

Jets' Sascha Boumedienne: Supplies two helpers in BU win
Rotowire
Boumedienne registered two assists in Boston University's 4-3 overtime win over Northeastern University on Saturday.
Boumedienne, a sophomore, has six points over 14 contests this season. He's also posted a minus-10 rating after holding a plus-8 rating with 13 points in 40 games a year ago. It's a bit of a step back defensively for the 18-year-old, but he's still on the young side of things for the NCAA and should have plenty of time to figure it out. The Swede is a first-round pick (2025) of the Jets.
Jets' Colin Miller: Limited role through first quarter
Rotowire
Miller was scratched for the 15th time in 20 games when he sat out Friday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Miller hasn't been able to carve out a regular role, though he has no points and a minus-1 rating over his five appearances this season. Even with Haydn Fleury (concussion) sidelined, it's been Luke Schenn to see a larger role. Miller will have to wait for his next opportunity, which may take an injury or two to other blueliners. He had 15 points in 60 regular-season outings in 2024-25, but he won't come anywhere near that mark if he continues to sit out.

Jets' Josh Morrissey: Extends streak with goal
Rotowire
Morrissey scored a goal on three shots and blocked four shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Morrissey's point streak is up to seven games after his game-tying tally at 3:45 of the first period. The 30-year-old defenseman has four goals and seven assists during the streak, which is just a further showcase of his steady offense from the Jets' top pairing. He's up to five goals, 22 points, 36 shots on net, 43 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 20 outings overall. After being limited to 14 goals and 62 points in 80 regular-season contests a year ago, Morrissey is on pace to push for career-best production in all of the offensive categories in 2025-26.

Jets' Gabriel Vilardi: Scores twice in loss
Rotowire
Vilardi scored two goals, including one on the power play, and added four shots on net and two PIM in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Vilardi did his part in this contest after being limited to just one goal and no assists over his previous seven outings. The recent drop in offense has cost him a spot on the top power-play unit, but he remains on the first line at even strength. Vilardi is up to eight goals, 16 points (six on the power play), 49 shots on net and a minus-2 rating through 20 games this season.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Falters in home loss
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 24 of 28 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Hurricanes.
Comrie's first task as the temporary starter for the Jets was a tough one, and he wasn't quite up to the challenge. Jordan Staal scored twice, while Seth Jarvis had a shorthanded goal and Andrei Svechnikov struck on the power play to send Comrie to just his second loss in six outings this season. He's at 4-2-0 with a 2.84 GAA and an .899 save percentage over six starts. The 30-year-old is set to see a majority of the action between the pipes while Connor Hellebuyck (knee) will be out until the latter half of December at best. The Jets' next game is at home versus the Wild on Sunday.
Walton scored a goal and added two assists in OHL Sudbury's 6-3 win over London on Friday.
Walton had gone six straight games without a goal, though he had picked up an assist in each of the last five contests. The 19-year-old is up to 12 goals and 15 assists through 18 appearances. He racked up goals with ease early in the year and has also posted 112 shots on net, an average of 6.2 shots per game. A sixth-round pick of the Jets in 2024, Walton's stock should continue to rise if his offense stays hot.

Jets' Eric Comrie: In goal versus Hurricanes
Rotowire
Comrie will tend the home goal versus the Hurricanes on Friday.
Comrie is in line for a massive boost in workload while Connor Hellebuyck (knee) is out due to arthroscopic surgery for the next 4-6 weeks. In the backup role this year, Comrie is 4-1-0 with a 2.60 GAA and a .908 save percentage over five games. His ratios will likely take a hit since he won't be sheltered from tough matchups, but the added playing time makes him a valuable addition to fantasy rosters.

Jets' Thomas Milic: Recalled from AHL
Rotowire
Milic was called up from AHL Manitoba on Friday.
The Jets are in need of a goaltender after learning that Connor Hellebuyck requires arthroscopic knee surgery and will be out of action for 4-6 weeks. Eric Comrie will be the No. 1 goaltender in the interim with Milic backing him up. Milic has been terrific at the AHL level this season, posting a 5-2-2 record with a 2.14 GAA and a .921 save percentage across nine starts.

Jets' Connor Hellebuyck: Out for potentially 4-6 weeks
Rotowire
Hellebuyck will undergo minor arthroscopic knee surgery and is expected to be out of action for 4-6 weeks, Darren Dreger of TSN reports Friday.
Eric Comrie will take over as the No. 1 goaltender while Hellebuyck is out of action. Hellebuyck is 8-6-0 with a 2.51 GAA and a .913 save percentage across 14 starts this season. Look for the Jets to recall a goaltender from AHL Manitoba, likely Thomas Milic.
Lowry signed a five-year, $25 million contract extension with the Jets on Wednesday.
Lowry will be 38 years old by the end of this extension. The veteran center has played all 12 seasons of his career with the Jets so far, and this deal could be enough to keep him with the team for the remainder of his time in the NHL. Lowry figures to remain a leader for the Jets during the deal. For fantasy purposes, he can chip in a little depth offense while adding steady physicality in a third-line role.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: First helper since return
Rotowire
Nyquist notched an assist and two shots on goal in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Nyquist got his first point in three games since he returned from missing five contests due to an undisclosed injury. The 36-year-old finds himself on the fourth line currently because the team is healthy up front. Nyquist has yet to score his first goal as a Jet, adding six assists, 17 shots on net and a plus-3 rating over 14 appearances this season.

Jets' Nino Niederreiter: Adds pair of helpers
Rotowire
Niederreiter notched two assists in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
Niederreiter has two multi-point efforts in the last four games. The 33-year-old winger continues to offer steady depth scoring from a third-line role on a strong team. He's up to four goals, nine assists, 27 shots on net, 30 hits and a plus-7 rating through 19 outings this season.
