Overview

  • Winnipeg hosts Dallas at Canada Life Centre with a 7 p.m. puck drop, facing the team that ended the Jets’ playoff run last season.
  • Kyle Connor signed an eight-year, US$96 million extension that begins next season at US$12 million per year.
  • The Jets start without captain Adam Lowry (hip), Cole Perfetti (high ankle sprain) and Dylan Samberg (broken wrist), while Jonathan Toews practiced as he recovers from a lower-body issue.
  • Calgary erased a 3-0 deficit to beat Edmonton 4-3 in a shootout, with Nazem Kadri netting the winner and 19-year-old rookie Matvei Gridin scoring in his NHL debut.
  • Edmonton civic notes include a $50,000 restoration turning a troubled bar into La Morenita with improved inspections, a national Creative City Legacy Award for downtown public art with a Saturday celebration, and letters warning that recent strikes could strain essential services.
