Chibrikov had core muscle surgery and will be out 6-8 weeks, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports Thursday. Chibrikov's recovery timeline shouldn't impact his availability for the start of training camp in the fall, but it does mean he won't be an option for AHL Manitoba during the Calder Cup playoffs. In 11 NHL games this year, the 23-year-old winger failed to register a point, and his 16 points in 53 minor-league tilts don't signal much in the way of offensive upside.

Chibrikov had core muscle surgery and will be out 6-8 weeks, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports Thursday. Chibrikov's recovery timeline shouldn't impact his availability for the start of training camp in the fall, but it does mean he won't be an option for AHL Manitoba during the Calder Cup playoffs. In 11 NHL games this year, the 23-year-old winger failed to register a point, and his 16 points in 53 minor-league tilts don't signal much in the way of offensive upside.
Koepke signed a two-year, $2.9 million contract extension with the Jets on Saturday. Koepke was eligible to become an unrestricted free agent this summer after completing his one-year, $1 million contract. He had eight goals, 17 points, 16 PIM, 86 shots and 186 hits in 66 appearances with the Jets this season. Koepke should be in the mix to continue to serve in a bottom-six capacity in the 2026-27 campaign.
Koepke scored a goal, placed two shots on net and dished out two hits in Thursday's 6-1 loss to San Jose. Koepke tallied the lone goal for the Jets in the team's season finale, scoring an unassisted goal less than three and a half minutes into regulation to give Winnipeg an early lead. With the twine finder, Koepke finished the campaign with eight goals, 17 points, 86 shots on net and 186 hits across 66 games this season. Thursday's tally helped the 27-year-old winger tie his point output across 73 games a season ago. He maintained his physical playstyle and set a new career high in hits this season, which should keep him involved in a bottom-six role next year.
Comrie stopped 27 of 33 shots on net in Thursday's 6-1 loss to the Sharks. Comrie struggled in Winnipeg's season finale, as he allowed two goals in the opening period before surrendering three more tallies in the second. With the loss, the 30-year-old netminder will wrap the season with a 12-11-1 record, a 3.13 GAA and an .890 save percentage across 25 outings this season. He improved as the season dragged on, with six wins over his final eight outings, but primarily served as Connor Hellebuyck's backup when the latter was fully healthy. Comrie is set to become an unrestricted free agent in the offseason, leaving his viability in fantasy up in the air ahead of next season.
Pionk (undisclosed) is slated to miss the Jets' season finale against San Jose on Thursday. Pionk was limited to 51 outings in 2025-26, and he's set to finish the season with three goals, 12 points, 37 PIM, 111 hits and 75 blocks. Winnipeg didn't secure a playoff berth, so this marks the end of the first campaign of his six-year, $42 million contract.
Nyquist (undisclosed) has been ruled out of Thursday's tilt versus San Jose. Nyquist will miss his 10th straight game to end the regular season. He had one goal and 11 assists in 51 games with the Jets in 2025-26 and at the age of 36, he may not get another opportunity to play at the NHL level.
Namestnikov (undisclosed) will not be in the lineup versus the Sharks on Thursday. Namestnikov will see his 2025-26 campaign end with him on the shelf due to his undisclosed injury. When healthy, the 33-year-old forward struggled to produce, garnering eight goals and six helpers in 60 contests, his lowest point total of his career.
Iafallo (undisclosed) is expected to miss Winnipeg's season finale against San Jose on Thursday. Iafallo also missed the Jets' previous two games. He's set to finish the campaign with 13 goals and 29 points in 79 appearances with the Jets. Winnipeg fell short of a playoff berth, so Iafallo will have plenty of time to focus on his recovery ahead of next season's training camp.
