The 30th overall pick of the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, Nadeau has gotten off to a hot start to the season with the AHL's Chicago Wolves, tallying two goals and two assists through his first three games. Nadeau made his NHL debut last season and appeared in three games with the Hurricanes, registering zero goals and one assist.

Mrtka was Buffalo's 2025 1st round pick (9th overall) and scored point (0G / 1A) in four games with the Rochester Americans (AHL) this season. The 18-year-old Czech defenseman spent 2024-25 as an import player with Seattle (WHL), where he excelled with three goals and 35 points in 43 games played.

The Jets will turn to Comrie on Friday in the tail end of their back-to-back after seeing their five-game winning streak snap in yesterday's 3-0 loss to the Seattle Kraken. The 30-year-old Comrie has only played once this season but was brilliant in the effort, saving 33 of 35 shots (.943 SV%) in a 5-2 win over the New York Islanders on October 13th. The Jets enter Friday's contest as -134 home favorites against a Flames team that trails the league offensively, scoring only 13 goals through eight games (1.63 GF / GP).

Reichel was a high-end prospect for the Blackhawks, drafted 17th-overall in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft, that has trouble acclimating to the NHL in the Blackhawks organization. The 23-year-old was regularly a healthy scratch and saw limited ice time. He scored 58 points (22G / 36A) in 174 career games with the Blackhawks and was off to a strong start in the 2025-26 season, scoring four points (2G / 2A) in five games.

Blueger scored a goal in Vancouver's 4-3 win over the Washington Capitals on Sunday, but also suffered an undisclosed injury and has been sidelined since. The 31-year-old Blueger had 26 points (8G / 18A) in 82 games last season.

Woll has been away from the team for the past four weeks, since the preseason, to tend to personal matters, but has officially rejoined the team. He started in exactly half of Toronto's games last season, posting a 2.73 GAA and .909 SV%, and was likely poised to see similar totals in 2025-26. There is no timeline on when Woll might return to game action, but with Toronto's up-and-down 3-3-1 start to the season, they will happily welcome the services of Woll, hoping it solidifies their goaltending position.

Kadri played 22:46 time-on-ice in yesterday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Montreal Canadiens, his second-highest total of the season. He was absent from practice on Thursday for maintenance but will not miss any time, remaining in the lineup for Friday's game against the Winnipeg Jets. The 35-year-old Kadri has four points (0G / 4A) in eight games this season.

Wolf put together arguably his best start of the 2025-26 season on Wednesday, saving 26 of 28 shots (.929 SV%), but was unable to shake the Flames' losing ways, falling 2-1 in overtime to the Montreal Canadiens, extending their losing skid to seven games (0-6-1). After finishing the 2024-25 season as the runner-up for the Calder Trophy, Wolf has struggled early this season, posting a 3.61 GAA and .875 SV% in seven games (1-5-1). The Flames enter Friday's contest as +121 road underdogs against a Winnipeg Jets team that was defeated 3-0 by the Seattle Kraken last night.
