Winnipeg Jets Player News

The Oilers are riding a two-game winning streak and will turn to Skinner between the pipes on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche. Skinner played well in his most recent outing, saving 20 of 22 shots (.909 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime win over the St. Louis Blues. The 26-year-old netminder has a .918 SV% in his last 22 games (14-6-2). The Oilers enter Friday's contest as -175 home favorites against an Avalanche squad that played last night, defeating the Calgary Flames 4-2.

Brad Lambert will return to the Jets' lineup on Friday, resulting in Ford being a healthy scratch. The 24-year-old Ford has played three games with the Jets, the first of his NHL career, scoring one goal and averaging 7:50 time-on-ice.

Lambert had a brief stint with the Jets earlier this season, being held without a point in four games. The 21-year-old Lambert was the 30th overall pick of the Jets in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. He broke onto the professional scene last season with an impressive 55 points (21G / 34A) in 64 games with Manitoba (AHL) but has not been as effective this season, scoring only 16 points (3G / 16A) through 30 games with the club.

Daws was excellent in his season debut on Tuesday, saving 25 of 27 shots (.926 SV%) in a 3-2 overtime win over the Pittsburgh Penguins. He will likely return to the crease for a second consecutive start on Thursday against the Vegas Golden Knights. In 21 AHL games this season, Daws is 5-14-1 with a 3.40 GAA and .888 SV%. The Devils enter Thursday's contest as slight -100 home underdogs against a Golden Knights squad amid a four-game losing skid (0-2-2).

Koepke will get the chance to play on Wednesday as the Bruins opt to get some fresh legs into the lineup for the tail-end of their back-to-back. Oliver Wahlstrom will sit in his place.

Skinner will make his 36th start of the season when the Oilers travel to St. Louis on Tuesday. Skinner struggled his last time out, allowing four goals on 28 shots in a 4-3 loss in Toronto on Saturday. The 26-year-old netminder owns a 19-12-4 record and a .902 SV% on the season. He's a good bet to get back in the win column on Tuesday as the Oilers enter action at -170 on the money line.

Rosen was the 14th overall pick of the Sabres in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old played once game with the Sabres earlier this season but has predominantly been in the AHL, scoring 39 points (23G / 16A) in 40 games with the Rochester Americans.

The Devils have lost two of their last three and will turn to the recently recalled Daws between the pipes on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins. Daws saw his first NHL action this season in New Jersey's most recent outing, saving all seven shots he faced in relief of Jake Allen in a 4-3 loss to the Buffalo Sabres. Daws appeared in 21 NHL games last season, going 9-11-0 with a 3.15 GAA and .894 SV%. In 21 AHL games this season, he is 5-14-1 with a 3.40 GAA and .888 SV%. The Devils enter Tuesday's contest as -133 road underdogs against a Penguins squad coming off a 3-0 win over the Nashville Predators.

With Mark Kastelic (undisclosed) returning from injury, Koepke will be the odd man out of the lineup. The 26-year-old Koepke is averaging 10:36 time-on-ice and has 12 points (7G / 5A) in 47 games this season.

Rosen was the 14th overall pick of the Sabres in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old played once game with the Sabres earlier this season but has predominantly been in the AHL, scoring 39 points (23G / 16A) in 40 games with the Rochester Americans.

Ford scored a goal in his NHL debut last week and has been recalled again from the Manitoba Moose (AHL). The undrafted 24-year-old has spent most of the 2024-25 campaign in the AHL, scoring 17 points (11G / 6A) in 36 games with Manitoba.

Lambert had a brief stint with the Jets earlier this season, being held without a point in four games. The 21-year-old Lambert was the 30th overall pick of the Jets in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. He broke onto the professional scene last season with an impressive 55 points (21G / 34A) in 64 games with Manitoba (AHL) but has not been as effective this season, scoring only 16 points (3G / 16A) through 30 games with the club.

Daws will join Jake Allen to serve as the Devils' goalie tandem while Jacob Markstrom is sidelined with an injury. Daws appeared in 21 NHL games last season, going 9-11-0 with a 3.15 GAA and .894 SV%. In 21 AHL games this season, he is 5-14-1 with a 3.40 GAA and .888 SV%.

Skinner was not available in Monday's 4-2 win over the Seattle Kraken, attending to the birth of his child, but he will return to the crease on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 26-year-old Skinner was excellent in his most recent outing, saving 39 of 41 shots (.951 SV%) in a 3-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres. Skinner has been terrific lately, posting a .920 SV% in his last 19 games (13-5-1). The Oilers enter Thursday's contest as sizeable -258 home favorites against a Red Wings squad riding a three-game winning streak.

Barron is battling an undisclosed injury and will be sidelined week-to-week after being placed on Injured Reserve. The Jets have recalled Parker Ford from the Manitoba Moose (AHL) in a corresponding move.
