Kyle Connor has had a transformative year, but his biggest impact may be off the ice as he tries to honor one of his late father's dreams.

Elias Salomonsson practiced with Dylan Samberg on the second pair. Scott Arniel says it's not set in stone.
"We'll see how tomorrow goes, what the matchups will be ... (But) there's a lot of similarities between those two guys in how they play, their feet, and how they defend."

Looks like Elias Salomonsson may be joining the Jets today. Practice is at 10:30 am.
Winnipeg placed Connor Hellebuyck on injured reserve yesterday, creating room for a callup.
No update on Neal Pionk yet, but:

Looks like my thought proved accurate as Elias Salomonsson is now listed on the Jets roster on the NHL media site.
Notable at Moose practice:
Jets prospects Wagner & Julien skated in yellow, non-contact.
D pairs were jumbled:
Heinola – Clague
Phillips – Bauer
Anhorn - Salomonsson
Sautner – Frisch
I suspect it’s precautionary in case Salomonsson gets called up.

I thought 44 + 91 did a better job on that shorthanded goal than they did the other day... But they needed another F to eliminate the trailer. (I think it was 81, given Faber took it from him on the rim pass.)
Faber was great on that goal too of course

My view from the couch at home: That was one of Winnipeg's stronger periods of the season.
None of the stuff they talk about when they're off their game (losing their F3, getting beat up the ice, passing off chances, blowing coverage...)
Easy to believe in the process, even at 0-0.

Mark Scheifele made his turn, Jonathan Toews wound up and tried but the pass was into his feet and the Jets fall 4-3.
Winnipeg finishes the night at 12-8-0, in possession of the second wild card spot via tiebreaker.

Mark Scheifele, Kyle Connor, or Josh Morrissey might yet find a way to Globetrot their way to a tie game for Winnipeg.
Most recently it's Scheifele going behind his back with a dangle and then shooting while turned away from the net.
81 seconds left for that or a greasy one.

Dylan DeMelo just saved a goal, darting into the crease and taking a two-hand swat at a puck that hit Eric Comrie and bounced towards the open net behind him.
And it was Nikolaj Ehlers whose goal DeMelo erased, right after the Ehlers tribute video.

Connor Hellebuyck is out for 4-6 weeks, undergoing arthroscopic injury to treat a minor, nagging knee issue.
Six weeks would bring us to 2026, with enough time to prep for the Olympics. And taking time now seems necessary if the #NHLJets are to attempt a deep playoff run.
