Preseason is over. Gabriel Vilardi is shootout magic, but Tanner Pearson's game winner was the biggest trick. Let's do this for real on Thursday. Next up: Final cuts.

Parker Ford is either earning himself an NHL job or one of the warmest, fuzziest demotions in recent Jets memory. More good stuff from Cole Koepke, too.

Tonight's projected #NHLJets lines. No Jonathan Toews (day to day) which gives Parker Ford one more look. Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi Perfetti-Namestnikov-Nyquist Niederreiter-Barron-Iafallo Pearson-Ford-Koepke Morrissey-DeMelo Stanley-Pionk Fleury-Schenn Hellebuyck Comrie

These groups of four forwards are who Winnipeg is using on its fourth and fifth lines at camp today. 4. Barron, Koepke, Pearson, Ford 5. Gustafsson, Duehr, Lambert, Chibrikov

Jonathan Toews is not on the ice at this morning's Jets practice.

Winnipeg has assigned Elias Salomonsson, Brayden Yager, Colby Barlow, and Thomas Milic to the Moose.

Winnipeg has waived Samuel Fagemo, Jaret Anderson-Dolan, and Kale Clague for purposes of AHL assignment.

@joesmithnhl.bsky.social got a couple of minutes with Scott Arniel last night. Arniel on Toews: "He just tweaked something here. We'll see when we get back. Day off (Wednesday), Thursday we'll get a look at him and find out what it is." Nothing really serious? "Yeah, I don't know really yet."

No Jonathan Toews to start the third

Toews not on the bench the last 7 mins

Jets place defencemen Isaak Phillips and Tyrel Bauer on waivers with the intention of assignment to MB.

Connor Hellebuyck left the ice not feeling right, says Scott Arniel. Arniel is going to get more info now after speaking with us. Unsure if Hellebuyck plays tomorrow. Hellebuyck left the ice prior to the start of Winnipeg's practice today. Squared up to a shot, then skated off.

Dylan Samberg isn't among those listed in Winnipeg's practice groups. Who steps up if Samberg's "freak accident" keeps him out a while? And who goes from waiver risk to the #NHLJets opening night roster? Analysis ⤵️: www.nytimes.com/athletic/667...

Winnipeg has reduced its roster by four players. Isaac Poulter, Jacob Julien, and Fabian Wagner have been assigned to the Moose. Dylan Anhorn has been released from his Jets tryout.

Scott Arniel says that Dylan Samberg will receive further evaluation tomorrow. He called Samberg's injury after his collision with Lomberg a "freak accident." Does sound like Arniel has some concern: "We'll see how this goes with Sammy. That's part of what we've talked about with our depth."

Mark Scheifele throwing preseason punches. Unexpected. His night is done.

Dylan Samberg is not among the Winnipeg Jets who have returned to the ice for the third period. Looks like the Ryan Lomberg hit has taken him out of the game. Precautionary or a bigger deal? Will find out from Scott Arniel after the game.

Dylan Samberg has gone down the tunnel to the Jets room after a hit from Ryan Lomberg.

Matt Coronato is back on the ice early in the second period. It looked like Mark Scheifele skated by him and checked in on him during the last stoppage in play.

I'm sold on Morgan Barron, and almost all of the way there on Cole Koepke. Who's best on the fourth line with them until Adam Lowry comes back? Tanner Pearson is unique but I might have more time for Gustafsson, Anderson-Dolan, etc., at least based on what we've seen at camp.

When Ville Heinola was drafted, he couldn't have imagined how quickly Winnipeg's defence would be torn apart. A series of UFA departures, injuries, and a sudden retirement conspired to gift him an NHL job at just 18 years old. Six years later, he's still trying to win it back.

Jets coach Dean Chynoweth was talking about players finding roles on the PK. Talked about Tanner Pearson and Cole Koepke as potential options this year. Jonathan Toews will kill penalties too. Seems to convey Pearson and Koepke are good bets to make the 4th line, as expected

Jonathan Toews' potential, Kyle Connor's contract, and five more burning #NHLJets questions after two preseason games ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/665...

Jonathan Toews admitted that it was special to play another NHL game after so long away. Still, if you were expecting anything less than a serious self-critique, you'll be disappointed: "Some good, some not so good. It is what it is," Toews started, when asked for his review.

Colby Barlow on how he's learned to ignore the critics, whether they pick him apart or say he's the next big thing: "People can love you one day and hate you the next... It's 'What have you done for me lately' and I think it's best to mind your own business." MORE⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/664...

Jonathan Toews is playing his first Jets game tomorrow ⤵️:

Winnipeg has reduced its roster by six players. Kevin He, Edison Engle, Jacob Cloutier, and Owen Martin have been re-assigned to their junior clubs. Goaltender Alex Worthington has been released from his amateur tryout and defenceman Ethan Frisch has been released from his PTO.

Who's been helping their case the most at #NHLJets training camp? A case for the standouts, including one top prospect explaining how he got his game back on track ⤵️ www.nytimes.com/athletic/664...

Scott Arniel on Elias Salomonsson: "I like the way he plays. He's calm. He works to get back to pucks on the breakout. You saw him on the power play and in offensive situations as well. He's got an impressive bite to him."

Just walked by Brad Lambert by the Jets room. He was limping a bit with ice on his left knee. We'll see what Scott Arniel shared about Lambert's status. He didn't finish OT, though he drew the penalty with his drive to the net.

Winnipeg is starting with a moment of silence for Bernie Parent

Preseason!
