Overview

  • Head coach Scott Arniel said Samberg will be sidelined 6–8 weeks after a preseason hit broke the defenseman’s wrist, as relayed via Elliotte Friedman.
  • Samberg exited Saturday’s 4–2 win over Calgary in the second period after what Arniel earlier described as a freak injury.
  • Winnipeg plans to lean on its left-shot depth, creating opportunities for Logan Stanley, Ville Heinola and Kale Clague to claim bigger roles.
  • Hadyn Fleury is expected to see an expanded assignment, with the Jets buoyed by returning all eight defensemen from last season’s postseason run.
  • The setback comes during a preseason spate of NHL injuries that includes stars like Sasha Barkov and Jamie Benn, while the Jets also expect a similar timeline for Adam Lowry.
