The Jets have signed Henri Nikkanen to a three-year, entry-level contract.

The Jets selected Nikkanen in the fourth-round (No.113 overall) in the 2019 NHL Draft. Nikkanen spent 2022 with the Pelicans (Liiga), where he had 12 points (7G / 5A) in 60 games. He represented Finland in the 2021 World Juniors, scoring two goals with one assist in seven games.

InjuryInjury
Scheifele (upper-body) will not play Monday in Montreal.

Scheifele left Sunday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return. Post-game, interim head coach Dave Lowry said that he will not play Monday and will be evaluated when the team returns to Winnipeg. The fact that he was ruled out right away likely isn't a good sign for his availability in the immediate future.
