- Winnipeg recalled top prospect Elias Salomonsson, kept Isaak Phillips available, and had Morgan Barron practicing in a regular jersey as a possible option.
- Winnipeg entered Minnesota seeking a fourth straight win but carried a nine-game road losing streak, underscoring the stakes for depth replacements.
- Philadelphia placed Bobby Brink on injured reserve and recalled Aleksei Kolosov after Dan Vladař left the Buffalo game with a lower-body injury, with test results still pending.
