I’m en route to Washington to cover the #NHLJets road trip for @winnipegfreepress.com

Team set to skate at 10:30 am in Winnipeg before flying.

Elias Salomonsson is now listed on the roster. Good eye by @icdave.bsky.social

We’ll see what Scott Arniel has to say about Neal Pionk’s injury/status.

Bit of a new look during #NHLJets warmup. Adam Lowry is wearing a toque. And Alex Iafallo, Tanner Pearson, Niko Niederreiter and Vlad Namestnikov are wearing ball caps.
November 23, 2025 at 8:35 PM
This is funny.

The #NHLJets net won’t stay put — something is amiss with the hole in the ice — so Eric Comrie and Thomas Milic are taking turns literally holding it down with their full weight while drills are underway.

Nice tribute video and salute from #NHLJets fans for Nikolaj Ehlers during the TV timeout.
November 22, 2025 at 1:35 AM
Not a lot of room out there for this drill during #NHLJets practice.
November 19, 2025 at 6:50 PM
#NHLJets practice underway here at HFAC. Same lines and D pairs as last night’s game.

Koepke and Miller the extras.

Only new development today is Haydn Fleury (concussion protocol) is not on the ice. He was a morning skate participant yesterday in a non-contact jersey.

The boys are back in town — and I am as well after a couple weeks of holidays. #NHLJets open a three-game homestand tonight against Columbus following a 2-4-0 road trip. And it’s nearly all hands on deck. Haydn Fleury in yellow only player left on IR.

The long-term forecast for Grey Cup in Winnipeg looks…fun?!

The gang’s all here for #NHLJets morning skate. Adam Lowry in regular sweater. Cole Perfetti and Dylan Samberg in non-contact. And no line changes from last game. Colin Miller, Brad Lambert and Nikita Chibrikov look to be healthy scratches vs Chicago. Connor Hellebuyck starts.

There’s no such thing as high-stakes hockey in October. It’s still really early.

But today’s #NHLJets vs Utah Mammoth showdown has a fun reward for the winner: They’ll hit the hay tonight No. 1 in both the Central Division and Western Conference.

#NHLJets optional skate underway here at Canada Life Centre. Among the participants: The injured trio of Adam Lowry (in a regular sweater), Cole Perfetti and Dylan Samberg (yellow non contact).
October 25, 2025 at 5:39 PM
OK, 90s Night just got even better. The #NHLJets are showing old commercials on the scoreboard including this one for season tickets.
October 24, 2025 at 11:51 PM
The retro music. The throwback graphics straight out of the Winnipeg Arena. A Smythe Division battle between the #NHLJets and #Flames.

All we’re missing in the portrait of the Queen and 90s Night here at Canada Life Centre would be perfect.

The Springer Dinger as seen from here in the Saddledome.
October 21, 2025 at 2:38 AM
Here we go from Calgary — the sporting event all Canadians are watching tonight.

#NHLJets vs #Flames.
October 21, 2025 at 1:37 AM
I wouldn’t mind one bit if they keep this up during the entire #NHLJets/#Flames game tonight here at the Saddledome.
October 21, 2025 at 12:30 AM
The #NHLJets are on the ice for morning skate. I’m not expecting any lineup changes but we shall see what the line rushes bring shortly here.
October 20, 2025 at 5:32 PM
Construction well underway here in Calgary on their new arena, which is being built beside the Saddledome and set to open in the fall of 2027.
October 20, 2025 at 5:29 PM
#NHLJets AM skate underway. Captain Adam Lowry, in yellow non-contact, has joined his teammates.

There’s a new message painted on the wall here at Canada Life Centre which greets visiting teams as they leave the ice and head to their dressing room.
October 17, 2025 at 6:41 PM
The #NHLJets are making their way home from Philadelphia after last night’s 5-2 win over the Flyers. Their next opponent -- the Nashville Predators — are already in town and skating right now here at Canada Life Centre. They suffered a tough OT loss last night in Montreal.
October 17, 2025 at 6:16 PM
#NHLJets on the ice for a quick skate before they get on the bird and fly to New York.

2-game road trip starts Monday afternoon.

Haydn Fleury (knee) is not skating. Kale Clague has been recalled from the #MBMoose. And Brad Lambert has been sent down to create a roster spot.
