<p><script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p>
<p>33-year-old centre @Bryan Little will start the season on long-term injured reserve as he <a href="https://illegalcurve.com/latest-news-on-veteran-winnipeg-jets-centre-bryan-little/">continues to deal with</a> the head injury that sidelined him for the entire 2020–21 season. With Little on the shelf, the Jets will feature $5,252,979 of LTIR cushioning at their disposal in 2021–22.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s how the rest of Winnipeg&#8217;s opening roster breaks down:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Forwards (12):</strong> @Blake Wheeler, @Kyle Connor, @Mark Scheifele, @Nikolaj Ehlers, @Pierre-Luc Dubois, @Paul Stastny, @Andrew Copp, @Adam Lowry, @Kristian Vesalainen, @Cole Perfetti, @Riley Nash, @Jansen Harkins</li>
<li><strong>Defencemen (8): @</strong>Josh Morrissey, @Nate Schmidt, @Neal Pionk, @Brenden Dillon, @Dylan DeMelo, @Nathan Beaulieu, @Logan Stanley, @Ville Heinola</li>
<li><strong>Goaltenders (2): @</strong>Connor Hellebuyck, @Eric Comrie</li>
</ul>
<p>The Jets also haven&#8217;t assigned forward @Evgeny Svechnikov to the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League, but the 24-year-old winger doesn&#8217;t currently have an NHL contract (he attended Winnipeg&#8217;s training camp on a professional tryout, having already signed an AHL deal with Manitoba).</p>
<p>With the Jets now having access to their LTIR space, expect a Svechnikov contract to be announced shortly.</p>
<p>The Jets will open their 2021–22 season on Oct. 13 when they take on the Anaheim Ducks at the Honda Center at 9:00 p.m. CT.</p>
