Ford scored a goal and added two assists in AHL Manitoba's 6-1 win over Iowa on Saturday.
Ford has five points over his last five outings. The forward is up to eight goals, 26 points, 95 shots on net and a plus-5 rating over 52 appearances for the Moose. He also saw 15 games for the Jets, but he was limited to one assist, 10 shots on net and 27 hits in those contests.

Jets' Colby Barlow: Scores twice in AHL win
Rotowire
Barlow scored two goals in AHL Manitoba's 6-1 win over Iowa on Saturday.
Barlow has mostly struggled this season, but he has five goals over his last eight outings. For the season, he's at eight goals, 16 points, 88 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 65 appearances. That level of production won't make it easy for Barlow to get to the NHL anytime soon -- he'll likely need more development time in 2026-27.

Jets' Cole Koepke: Agrees to two-year extension
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Cole Koepke: Pots goal in season finale
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Yields six goals in loss
Rotowire
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.
Brown agreed to terms on a two-year, entry-level contract with Winnipeg on Thursday.
Brown just wrapped up his junior season with the University of Denver, taking home his second National Championship with the Pioneers. In his 33 outings this year, the 22-year-old defenseman notched two goals and 10 assists. Selected by the Jets in the fourth round of the 2022 NHL Draft, Brown will likely spend time developing in the minors before getting a look at the NHL level.

Jets' Neal Pionk: Expected to miss season finale
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Gustav Nyquist: Not playing in season finale
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Vladislav Namestnikov: Remains out Thursday
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Alex Iafallo: Slated to miss season finale
Rotowire
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.

Jets' Elias Salomonsson: Ruled out Thursday
Rotowire
Salomonsson remains in concussion protocol and will not play in Thursday's season finale against San Jose, Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Salomonsson will miss his seventh straight game after he was injured in Dallas on April 2. Salomonsson had one goal and four assists with 50 hits in 32 regular-season games this season.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Poised to start Thursday
Rotowire
Comrie was the first goalie off and is expected to be between the pipes at home versus the Sharks on Thursday, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.
Comrie has played in just 24 games this season, going 12-10-1 with a 3.00 GAA. It's been a slow stretch for the netminder of late, as the Jets were utilizing Connor Hellebuyck with extra frequency in the hopes of making the playoffs. A free agent this summer, Comrie could try to find another landing spot where he could see extra work.
Vilardi logged two assists, including one on the power play, in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Mammoth.
This was Vilardi's third multi-point effort in the last five games. The 26-year-old forward has been excellent for the Jets this season, earning 69 points (24 on the power play), 150 shots on net, 35 blocked shots and a minus-10 rating over 81 appearances. Vilardi will have a chance to hit the 70-point mark for the first time if he plays in the regular-season finale Thursday versus the Sharks.

Jets' Isak Rosen: Buries power-play goal
Rotowire
Rosen scored a power-play in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Mammoth.
Rosen snapped a six-game point drought with the tally. The 23-year-old has gotten a chance at NHL minutes since he was traded from the Sabres, but the offense hasn't yet fallen into place. The winger has a total of six goals, 10 points, 33 shots on net and a minus-3 rating over 36 appearances between Buffalo and Winnipeg this season.

Jets' Kyle Connor: Picks up pair of points
Rotowire
Connor scored a power-play goal on six shots, dished an assist and added two hits in Tuesday's 5-3 loss to the Mammoth.
Connor hadn't scored in three games, an unusually quiet stretch for the winger. The 29-year-old is up to 39 goals, 92 points, 267 shots on net and an even plus-minus rating over 81 appearances. If he plays versus the Sharks in the season finale on Thursday, Connor will have a chance to secure the third 40-goal campaign of his career. He'd also have a small chance of matching last year's career-best 97-point total if he were able to put in a truly remarkable performance.
