Aiming to finalize their roster before Tuesday&#8217;s 5 pm ET deadline, the Winnipeg Jets have been extremely busy over the past 24 hours as they&#8217;re attempting to determine what their opening night lineup will look like.
After placing five skaters on waivers on Monday, the Jets won&#8217;t be welcoming back two of those players, as defenseman @Luca Sbisa was claimed by the Nashville Predators and goalie @Eric Comrie was picked up by the New Jersey Devils.

Though the organization will be without Sbisa and Comrie, there&#8217;s some positive news here, as @Mathieu Perreault, @Nelson Nogier, and @CJ Suess have all passed through and will remain with the club. As a result, all three of those skaters can become part of the team&#8217;s &#8220;taxi squad&#8221; unit this season.
With Comrie departing, goalie @Mikhail Berdin is now set to become the No. 3 netminder behind teammates @Connor Hellebuyck and @Laurent Brossoit.
The Jets are scheduled to take on the Calgary Flames during their regular-season opener on Jan. 14 at Bell MTS Place.
