Overview
- Winnipeg continues its six-game road trip in San Jose tonight, with puck drop at 9:00 p.m. CST on TSN3.
- Cole Perfetti and Dylan Samberg remain in non-contact jerseys, Gustav Nyquist is on IR retroactive to Oct. 30, and Morgan Barron is out week-to-week.
- Adam Lowry returned from hip surgery in Tuesday’s 3-0 loss in Los Angeles and reported feeling better as the game progressed.
- Pre-game questions persist on whether Eric Comrie starts or Connor Hellebuyck gets the crease, and whether Luke Schenn re-enters or Colin Miller stays on defense; projections list Hellebuyck starting with a Fleury–Miller pair.
- San Jose arrives on a four-game point streak after a 6-1 win over Seattle powered by Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith, with Yaroslav Askarov stopping 29 shots, while Winnipeg’s power play has cooled to 10th and its penalty kill ranks fourth.
