St. Ivany was battling a lower-body injury that kept him sidelined for several months. He made his 2025-26 debut while on a conditioning loan with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (AHL) last week, scoring five points (1G / 4A) in five games. He makes his season debut with Pittsburgh on Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers.
The Jets went 3-8-1 in 12 games with Hellebuyck sidelined due to a knee injury, but they were seemingly a new team when he returned to the lineup on Saturday. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck was excellent in Saturday's 5-1 win over the Washington Capitals, saving 24 of 25 shots (.960 SV%). Before his injury, Hellebuyck was in the running to be a candidate for another Vezina trophy, but he may have fallen out of the race after missing a full month. He has a 2.41 GAA and .916 SV% in 15 games (9-6-0). The Jets enter Monday's contest as -129 home favorites against an Ottawa Senators team that has lost four of its last five games (1-4-0).

Hellebuyck has not played since November 15th and was given a 4-6 week recovery timeline after undergoing a minor Arthroscopic knee procedure. That said, he returned to practice this week and appears to be targeting the early end of his timelines and could return to the crease as soon as Saturday against the Washington Capitals. The Jets have gone 3-8-1 in 12 games without Hellebuyck and will be eager to regain the services of their three-time Vezina-winning goalie. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck was showcasing a 2.51 GAA and .913 SV% in 14 games (8-6-0) before his injury.
After speculations had regularly circulated around the Oilers organization about a change between the pipes, a move was finally made on Friday in a deal that sent Stuart Skinner to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The 27-year-old Skinner was unable to consistently be a reliable goaltending option for the Oilers and hopes a change of scenery can help him flourish with the Penguins. Skinner had a 2.83 GAA and .891 SV% in 23 games with Edmonton this season (11-8-4), and was ironically moved after his most consistent stretch, posting a solid 2.15 GAA and .913 SV% in his last seven games (4-2-1).

The Oilers have played better lately, collecting a point in four of their last five (3-1-1), and will roll with Skinner between the pipes on Thursday against the Detroit Red Wings. The 27-year-old Skinner has been unreliable on many nights this season, posting a 2.91 GAA and .887 SV% in 22 games (10-8-4). That said, he is amid his best four-game stretch of the season (2-1-1), posting a 1.85 GAA and .929 SV%. The Oilers enter the action on Thursday as -166 home favorites against a Red Wings team that played last night and has won four of their last five games (4-0-1).
Nyquist was acquired in the offseason to help mitigate the loss of Nikolaj Ehlers, but he has struggled finding his footing with the Jets. The 36-year-old Nyquist only has six points (0G / 6A) in 20 games, and has been held off the scoresheet in six straight. He was a healthy scratch for the last week, but will return to the lineup on Thursday against the Boston Bruins.
Hellebuyck has not played since November 15th and was given a 4-6 week recovery timeline after undergoing a minor Arthroscopic knee procedure, but appears to be targeting the early end as a return after practicing on Wednesday. The Jets have gone 3-7-1 in 11 games without Hellebuyck and will be eager to regain the services of their three-time Vezina-winning goalie. The 32-year-old Hellebuyck was showcasing a 2.51 GAA and .913 SV% in 14 games (8-6-0) before his injury.
With Dakota Mermis (lower body) placed on Injured Reserve, the Maple Leafs have recalled Thrun from the Marlies (AHL). The 24-year-old Thrun was a regular on San Jose's blueline the past two seasons, but has spent the entirety of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL, where he has nine points (3G / 6A) in 19 games with the Marlies.

After being recalled from Rochester (AHL) earlier in the day, Rosen will immediately draw into Buffalo's lineup for Tuesday's game in Edmonton. He'll slot in for Jason Zucker, who suffered a lower-body injury in Calgary on Monday.
With Jason Zucker (lower body) on IR, the Sabres have recalled Rosen from the Rochester Americans (AHL). The 22-year-old Rosen was productive in a 10-game stint with the Sabres earlier this season, scoring seven points (3G / 4A).
Salamonsson was drafted in the second-round, 55th overall, by the Jets in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old Swedish defenseman made his NHL debut this season, playing four games with Winnipeg. He made his North American professional debut last season in the AHL, scoring 27 points (5G / 22A) in 53 games with the Manitoba Moose.
The Oilers have crept their way back up the standings, winning three of their last four (3-1-0) and receiving vastly improved goaltending from Stuart Skinner. The 27-year-old Skinner has an unimpressive 2.86 GAA and .889 SV% in 21 games (10-8-3), but has been much better lately, posting a 2.0 GAA and .915 SV% in his last five games (3-2-0). The Oilers enter Tuesday's contest as sizable -202 home favorites against a Buffalo Sabres team that beat them 5-1 earlier this season, but is on a three-game losing streak (0-3-0).
The Jets have struggled immensely since Connor Hellebuyck (knee) has been sidelined. Eric Comrie has had a few solid outings, but has understandably been unable to fill the void of the team's three-time Vezina-winning goalie. When Comrie has been unable to go, Thomas Milic has been unable to step up to the plate, resulting in his demotion to Manitoba (AHL), with goalie Domenic DiVincentiis coming back the other way in a corresponding move. The 21-year-old DiVicentiis is unlikely to see much playing time at the NHL level, but has been solid in the AHL this season, posting a 2.49 GAA and .915 SV% in 13 games (6-7-0).
