Looking to prepare for the upcoming 2021-22 season, which is scheduled to open on Oct. 12, the Winnipeg Jets made a trio of moves Sunday in an attempt to reduce their roster size down to 23 skaters.
First, the team announced that prospect @David Gustafsson, who was absent from Sunday&#8217;s practice, understandably, was assigned to the American Hockey League. As a result, the 6&#8217;2&#8243; forward will open the regular season with the Manitoba Moose.
Secondly, the Jets also waived @Dominic Toninato and @Nelson Nogier, making each of them available to the rest of the league. If neither player is claimed after 24 hours passes, it&#8217;s expected they&#8217;ll each be reassigned to the AHL as well.
Following these roster moves, only 23 skaters remain in Winnipeg&#8217;s camp, which includes:
Forwards (13): 
@Kyle Connor, @Andrew Copp, @Pierre-Luc Dubois, @Nikolaj Ehlers, @Jansen Harkins, @Adam Lowry, @Riley Nash, @Cole Perfetti, @Mark Scheifele, @Paul Stastny, @Evgeny Svechnikov, @Kristian Vesalainen, @Blake Wheeler
Defensemen (8): 
@Nathan Beaulieu, @Dylan DeMelo, @Brenden Dillon, @Ville Heinola, @Josh Morrissey, @Neal Pionk, @Nate Schmidt, @Logan Stanley
Goalies (2): 
@Connor Hellebuyck, @Eric Comrie
The Jets will open the regular season on the road against the Anaheim Ducks on Oct. 13 at 9 pm CT.
