Overview
- Jets head coach Scott Arniel confirmed Monday that defenseman Dylan Samberg sustained a broken wrist and will miss approximately six to eight weeks.
- Starting goaltender Connor Hellebuyck left Monday’s skate “not feeling quite right,” and his availability for Tuesday’s preseason game is uncertain.
- Winnipeg trimmed its camp with multiple moves: Isaac Poulter, Jacob Julien and Fabian Wagner were assigned to the Manitoba Moose, Dylan Anhorn was released from his tryout, Phil Di Giuseppe and Mason Shaw were placed on waivers for reassignment, and Danny Zhilkin was loaned to the Moose.
- Samberg’s absence opens a left-side slot next to Neal Pionk for early-season minutes, with internal options such as Logan Stanley, Haydn Fleury and Ville Heinola in the mix, per camp pairings and reporting.
- The Flames enter their final week with 38 players and three preseason games remaining, with Joel Hanley expected to partner MacKenzie Weegar, Dustin Wolf locked in as starter and Ivan Prosvetov reported to hold a slight edge over Devin Cooley for the backup job as Rory Kerins pushes for NHL consideration.
