The Winnipeg Jets are anticipating the return of Vladislav Namestnikov tonight against Utah HC. Namestnikov has been out of the Jets lineup for 10 days after he suffered a lower-body injury. The 32-year-old played in 43 games before sustaining the injury,

Namestnikov (lower body) is slated to return to action against Utah on Monday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports. Namestnikov has missed the last four games due to a lower-body injury,

Namestnikov (lower body) won't play Saturday versus the Flames, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports. Namestnikov reportedly returned to practice in a non-contact capacity Friday, so it's not a surprise he'll miss his fourth straight game.

NHL insider Frank Seravalli revealed today that the Winnipeg Jets are looking to add a very important forward at the trade deadline this year. The Jets have been one of the top teams in the NHL all season long this year.

Adam Lowry is Winnipeg's de facto No. 2 centre, making his extended absence a troubling item for the top team in the West.

SALT LAKE CITY - For the first time in 2025, the Winnipeg Jets have hit the road. Following a season-long eight-game home stand that saw the Jets (31-13-3) post a 4-2-2 record, the team begins a short two-game road trip with their first visit to Utah.

Connor Ingram made 23 saves and Olli Maatta scored his first goal for the Utah Hockey Club in a 5-2 victory over Winnipeg Jets.

Morgan Barron and Gabriel Vilardi also scored, and Vladislav Namestnikov and defenseman Josh Morrissey each had two assists for the Jets, who are 5-4-2 in their past 11 games. Connor Hellebuyck made 25 saves and had the secondary assist on the winning goal.

Once February hits, second-line centre chatter is as inevitable as frostbite in this city. But Adam Lowry has shown he very well may be capable of handling that role effectively this season.

Winnipeg Jets’ general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff recently said he hopes to “be in the mix” for landing Jonathan Toews, who is toying with an NHL comeback.
