Overview
- Winnipeg confirmed Connor Hellebuyck will have an arthroscopic knee procedure and be sidelined approximately four to six weeks.
- Eric Comrie assumes the starting role in net with Thomas Milic recalled from the AHL’s Manitoba Moose as backup.
- The Jets fell 4-3 to the Hurricanes, as Gabriel Vilardi scored twice, Josh Morrissey extended his point streak, and Comrie made 24 saves on 28 shots.
- A four-shot second period and a shorthanded goal by Seth Jarvis proved costly, compounding earlier defensive lapses.
- Minnesota arrives 8-1-1 in November after a 5-0 win featuring a 19-save Filip Gustavsson shutout, adding pressure to a Jets side that woke up outside the playoff picture.
