Winnipeg Jets Practice Report
Jets prospect Zach Wooten got his first NCAA goal for Wisconsin. He had 1G 1A in a Badgers win this weekend. Gives him 1G 2A in three games.
Jets prospect Owen Martin 1G 1A in a Spokane win on Saturday night. The Oakbank product was named 3rd Star of the Game. He’s got 2G 2A for 4 points in 4 games. The centre went 20/26 at the faceoff dot.
Big game for Jets D prospect Alexandre Taillefer, who buried this one and added three assists in Québec’s 7-6 win. He’s got 2G 11A for 13 points in 7GP for the Remparts. Already closing in on the 17 points he recorded in 28 games last season.
It was a cold one on the Red today. A pair of bald eagles seemed to be laughing at me as I got skunked. Still, always great to get out on the water.
Moose continue strong start to season with third win over Wolves in 6-1 rout
The Moose improved to 3-1-0 as they defeat the Wolves for the third time this season.
After 4 games they have 18 goals for and just six against.
Really balanced lines, solid D pairs and excellent goaltending to start the 2026-27 season.

Another player getting his first of the season as Chase Yoder redirected the Davis Burnside shot to make it a 6–1 lead for the Moose.
Jets prospect Brayden Yager drove the net on the PP before Nikita Chibrikov puts home the loose puck. That was his first of the season to make it a 5-1 hockey game for the visitors.
The Moose looked dangerous in all facets of the game including shorthanded as Parker Ford gets his first of the season to put the visitors up 4-1 in the 3rd.
Even the Moose 4th line got in on the act as Davis Burnside made a few nice moves before feeding Tyson Empey who gets robbed.
Moose goalie Thomas Milic is becoming a bit of a Wolves killer as he made 21 saves on 22 shots including this one backstopping Manitoba to his second victory this season over Chicago.
Jets prospect Kevin He with quite the start to his pro career as he scored his third goal in his fourth game which gave the Moose a 3-0 lead in the 1st on a 5 on 3. Play created by Danny Zhilkin who used his speed to set it up. Alfons Freij picks up his first AHL assist.
Jets prospect Jacob Julien got his first of the season with a nice tip using his big frame to get to the front of the net. He gave the Moose a 2-0 lead. Would turn out to be the game-winning goal which was the first of his pro career.
Noah Gregor has been a great addition to the Moose. He scored his fourth goal in his fourth game in antlers which gave Manitoba a 1-0 lead. Great stretch pass by Jets prospect Alfons Freij to start things off. Isaak Phillips with a strong attack.
Getting caught up from last night’s Moose game (third time they’ve faced the Wolves already this season): Wahlin - Yager - Chibrikov Gregor - Zhilkin - Ford He - Julien - Barlow Empey - Yoder - Burnside Phillips - Freij Sautner - Mayo Gustafsson - Thrun Milic DiVincentiis

While fans didn’t have a lot to cheer for in the Jets loss, folks probably liked seeing 18-year old Viggo Björck deliver this check late in the game.
