Hellebuyck has finished every season of his career with a record above .500, but he currently has a 16-17-9 record in a largely disappointing season. That said, the 32-year-old three-time Vezina-winning goalie has returned from his Gold Medal performance with Team USA at the Olympics with some of his most consistent goaltending of the season, posting a stellar 1.99 GAA and .926 SV% in his last five games (3-1-1). The Jets enter Thursday's contest as -148 home favourites against a suddenly surging New York Rangers team that has points in six of their last seven games (4-1-2).

That said, the 32-year-old three-time Vezina-winning goalie has returned from his Gold Medal performance with Team USA at the Olympics with some of his most consistent goaltending of the season, posting a stellar 1.72 GAA and .931 SV% in his last four games (3-0-1). The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as -130 home favourites against an Anaheim Ducks team that defeated them 5-4 less than two weeks ago.

With Buffalo having an influx of young forwards, Isak Rosen found himself on the outside and was traded alongside Jacob Bryson, a 2027 2nd Round Pick, and conditional 2026 4th Round Pick to Winnipeg for Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn on Thursday. Rosen was drafted in the 1st round of the 2021 NHL Draft (14th overall) but has failed to stick at the NHL level through three seasons. In 2025-26 he appeared in 16 games, picking up a career high three goals, seven points and 16 SOG.

Lambert was drafted 30th overall by the Winnipeg Jets in the 2022 NHL Entry Draft, but he has yet to make his presence felt at the NHL level and has also battled adversity in the AHL. The 22-year-old Lambert has 13 points (6G / 7A) in 34 games with Manitoba (AHL) this season.

After six seasons in Buffalo, Jacob Bryson is now a member of the Winnipeg Jets alongside Isak Rosen a 2027 2nd Round Pick, and conditional 2026 4th Round Pick for Logan Stanley and Luke Schenn. Bryson is 28-year-old and has never surpassed more than 10 points in an NHL season. Through 35 games played in 2025-26, he has two goals, five points and eight PIMs.

Morrissey was unable to contribute to Team Canada at the Olympics after suffering an injury in their opening game and been sidelined for the Jets since the NHL resumed action. With Neal Pionk also injured, the team is eagerly awaiting Morrissey's return to the lineup and top powerplay unit. The 30-year-old Morrissey has 42 points (10G / 32A) in 56 games this season.

Duehr has played three games with the Jets this season, but has spent most of the 2025-26 campaign in the AHL. The 28-year-old forward has 26 points (12G / 14A) in 39 games with the Manitoba Moose (AHL) this season.

Phillips played three games with the Jets this season, but has spent most of the 2025-26 season in the AHL. The 24-year-old defenseman has 19 points (5G / 14A) in 44 games with Manitoba (AHL) this season.

Philipps will get an opportunity to play on Thursday as a result of the Jets sitting Luke Schenn and Logan Stanley, presumably for roster management purposes. Ville Heinola will also draw into the Jets lineup.

Hellebuyck saved 17 of 19 shots (.895 SV%) in Tuesday's 3-2 overtime win over the Chicago Blackhawks, his first win in six outings (1-2-3). The Jets remain nine points out of a Wild Card spot and will need Hellebuyck to showcase the Vezina-calibre goaltending he has displayed in previous seasons if they have any intentions of making a late-season push for the playoffs. The Jets enter Thursday's contest as +172 home underdogs against a Tampa Bay Lightning team that will be desperate for a win after uncharacteristically being outscored 16-7 in their last three games (0-3-0).

After tremendous performances while representing Team USA at the Olympics, propelling them to a Gold Medal, Hellebuyck has returned to uncharacteristically subpar performances while representing the Jets this season. That said, he was solid in his most recent outing, saving 31 of 33 shots (.939 SV%) in a 3-2 shootout loss to the San Jose Sharks, which was the first time he has allowed fewer than three goals in seven outings (1-3-3). The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as -154 home favourites against the Chicago Blackhawks, who are coming off an impressive 4-0 win over the Utah Mammoth.
