Poolman Joins Jets on the Road with Enstrom Injured, Manitoba Moose Young Gun Gets Called Up Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/with-enstrom-out-of-jets-lineup-poolman- ready-to-step-in-458680843.html Poolman joins Jets on the road With Enstrom injured, Manitoba Moose young gun gets called up By: Mike McIntyre "You just got to be ready for a new chance, just be ready for the team," Winnipeg Jets' Tucker Poolman said. Tucker Poolman was just getting ready for a matinee game with the Manitoba Moose when his phone rang on Sunday morning, indicating a slight change of plans. And just like that, the rookie defenceman was back in the National Hockey League. "You just got to be ready for a new chance, just be ready for the team," Poolman said a few hours later, as he prepared to join the Winnipeg Jets (12-4-3) on a tough four-game road trip, which begins tonight in Nashville. Veteran blueliner Toby Enstrom could miss up to two months of action after getting hurt in Saturday’s game against New Jersey. The 33-year-old has been placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury, opening up a spot for Poolman. Enstrom got tangled with Devils forward Jesper Bratt during the second period of Winnipeg’s 5- 2 win and went down in pain. He had to be helped off the ice and wasn’t putting any pressure on his right leg. "It’s tough to lose guys, important guys to your team. Unfortunately, it’s part of what we do for a living. It’s going to happen (and) it’s an opportunity for guys to step up," captain Blake Wheeler said on Sunday. "We obviously have a good thing going. You want those guys to come in and make a seamless transition. Guys that have been chomping at the bit to get back in, so there will be a lot of excitement for them." Enstrom, who is in the final year of his contract and set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, has two assists in 19 games this season while averaging just over 16 minutes of action per game. He had primarily been playing with Dustin Byfuglien. Poolman, 24, dressed for three games with the Jets earlier this season and was held off the scoresheet. He’s played seven games with the Moose, recording one assist. Whether it’s Poolman or Ben Chiarot who immediately draws into the lineup remains to be seen. "Obviously, injuries happen. We saw the tough end of that last year. You just have to adapt. You can’t replace Toby’s experience and what he brings. But at the same time, other guys have to step up. Benny or Poolsy or whoever gets into that spot. They’re great players as well," defenceman Josh Morrissey said on Sunday. "Like I said, the other guys, we just have to step up and take over some of those minutes Toby plays, and hope that Toby recovers soon and gets healthy as fast as possible." Winnipeg comes into tonight’s contest having won four consecutive games and with a perfect 4- 0-0 record within the Central Division. This will be the first of five meetings with Nashville, who made it to the Stanley Cup finals last year and are off to another strong start at 11-6-2, including 6-1-1 at home. "Our focus is on Nashville. We’ll take each game as they come. It’s kind of what we’ve been doing all year. It’s always a real difficult building, no matter what," Wheeler said. "Obviously, they made it to the finals last year and are carrying a lot of momentum from that into this year. It’s always tough going into that building, and we’re excited for that challenge." The Jets have collected points in 15 of their last 17 games (12-2-3), after starting the year 0-2-0. Perhaps most promising is they’re rolling four lines, all capable of scoring. For example, the so- called fourth line of Mathieu Perreault, Joel Armia and Matt Hendricks combined for six points on Saturday. "We still know there’s growth to be had and not every game is perfect. We still have a lot of things to work on. That’s promising. We have to continue to focus on our game, focus on getting better as a team, knowing if we keep that going, we will be fine," centre Mark Scheifele said on Sunday. "We need every line to be playing the same way, the simple way. When it’s one line’s night, it’s their night. That’s how we’re going to win games." After playing in the Music City, Winnipeg faces three more powerful teams in Los Angeles, Anaheim and San Jose before heading home. "Well it’s a huge trip, obviously. You look at where the teams are that we’re playing. In the standings, they’re all tough teams. For us, obviously Nashville is a divisional team. It’s a big game any time you’re playing those ones," Morrissey said. "It’s going to be a big trip for us. We obviously want to start it off the right way. It’s going to be fun, the games are going to be intense, exciting. We have to be ready to go." Morrissey admitted he’s been glancing at the standings, which show the Jets sitting second in the Western Conference, trailing the St. Louis Blues. "After every game that we play, after every off-night that we’re not playing, I’m looking to see how other teams are doing, where the standings are, how teams are trending at the time," Morrissey said. "Obviously, points now are just as important as points at the end of the year." https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/enstrom-out-for-two-months- 458651213.html?k=odb1d3 Enstrom out for two months By: Mike McIntyre The Winnipeg Jets are expected to be without veteran defenceman Toby Enstrom for up to two months after he was injured in Saturday's game against New Jersey. The team announced Sunday that Enstrom, 33, has been placed on injured reserve with a lower-body injury. He got tangled with Devils forward Jesper Bratt during the second period of Winnipeg's 5-2 win and went down in pain. He had to be helped off the ice and wasn't putting any pressure on his right leg. Enstrom went straight to the dressing room, but was back on the bench a few minutes later and actually took a couple shifts before the period ended. However, the team ruled him out for the rest of the game to start the third. Enstrom, who is in the final year of his contract and set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer, has two assists in 19 games this season while averaging just over 16 minutes of action per game. He had primarily been playing as the defence partner of Dustin Byfuglien. Tucker Poolman was called up from the Manitoba Moose to take Enstrom's place on the roster. Poolman, 24, dressed for three games with the Jets earlier this season and was held off the scoresheet. He's played seven games with the Moose, recording one assist. Whether it's Poolman or Ben Chiarot who immediately draw into the lineup remains to be seen, as Jets coach Paul Maurice didn't have a media availability on Sunday. Winnipeg (12-4-3) begins a four-game road trip on Monday night in Nashville. Winnipeg Sun http://winnipegsun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/winnipeg-jets/jets-recall-poolman Enstrom on the shelf By Ken Wiebe NASHVILLE – It was bound to happen sooner or later, that’s just a hard fact of life for most teams in the NHL. Injuries are a part of the game and the Winnipeg Jets had been blessed on the back end this season with mostly good health. Sure, Dustin Byfuglien missed a pair of games with a lower-body issue and Dmitry Kulikov sat out two games with a knee problem, but other than that, the Jets had been fortunate to avoid any long-term setbacks. Until now. On Sunday, the Jets placed blue-liner Toby Enstrom on the injured reserve list and he’s expected to be out eight weeks with what the team is calling a lower-body injury. “He’s been great all year, playing really well. Any time you lose a guy that eats up a lot of minutes like him it’s going to be tough,” Jets captain Blake Wheeler told reporters on Sunday. “It’ll be an opportunity for some guys to step up. It’s kind of what needs to happen. There are going to be injuries throughout the year.” Enstrom suffered the injury during the second period of Sunday’s 5-2 victory over the New Jersey Devils when he got tangled up in front of the net with forward Jesper Bratt. Enstrom fell awkwardly to the ice and was unable to put any weight on his right leg as he was helped to the dressing room. Before the period was over, Enstrom returned to action, taking a pair of shifts but he didn’t come out for the third. And now he’s out long-term and the Jets must band together to pick up the slack. “Obviously injuries happen. We saw the tough end of that last year,” Jets defenceman Josh Morrissey told reporters. “You just have to adapt. You can’t replace Toby’s experience and what he brings.

  • Vegas Beats Winnipeg with Stick Jets Livid Goal Wasn't Overturned After Hellebuyck Slashed in Head
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/vegas-downs-jets-3-2-to-remain-on-top-of-western- conference-472272033.html Vegas beats Winnipeg with stick Jets livid goal wasn't overturned after Hellebuyck slashed in head By: Mike McIntyre A heavyweight battle of the Western Conference’s top-two teams delivered in spades Thursday night. And while the Vegas Golden Knights skated away with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Winnipeg Jets, it was a controversial call earlier in the game — and Winnipeg’s reaction to it — that will surely reverberate all the way to the NHL’s head office. We take you back to late in second period, with the teams locked in a 1-1 tie and Vegas on the power play. Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck couldn’t quite squeeze a shot from the blue-line, and the puck sat loose behind him just inches from the goal-line. Vegas forward James Neal, apparently trying to cash in, took a wild swing with his stick that caught Hellebuyck flush in the head. Neal’s twig broke in half, the blade spinning towards the corner boards as the proverbial smoking gun. Only there was no penalty call on the play and no whistle. Erik Haula then pounced on the loose puck, knocking it home for the go-ahead tally. Winnipeg protested, and the two referees huddled with the linesman for a few seconds before ruling it a goal. Jets head coach Paul Maurice challenged for goaltender interference. Following a lengthy review, referee Ghislain Hebert ruled the original call stood — even though it was clear as day Neal slashed Hellebuyck in the face with great force.

  • Maurice Wants Production from Third, Fourth Lines with Nine Players in the Mix, Bottom Six Looks Crowded
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/maurice-wants-production-from-third- fourth-lines-452913503.html Maurice wants production from third, fourth lines With nine players in the mix, bottom six looks crowded By: Mike McIntyre It’s getting awfully crowded at the bottom for the Winnipeg Jets. But the team’s growing list of depth players — believed to be a strength headed into this season — have provided next to nothing when it comes to offence. That’s creating a frustrating situation for head coach Paul Maurice as he tries to figure out his lineup card these days, especially with a pair of injured forwards set to return and further cloud the situation. Consider this: the Jets' third and fourth lines have yet to score a goal in five-on-five play through seven games this year, in which they've managed to go 4-3-0. Brandon Tanev and Joel Armia each have a short-handed tally, while Andrew Copp assisted on a shorty scored by defenceman Tyler Myers. As for the rest of the lot, Shawn Matthias has no points through seven games despite ample chances. Nic Petan has been blanked in his six games, which has included plenty of power-play time. Marko Dano has nothing through five and Adam Lowry was kept off the scoresheet for four games prior to being injured. Brendan Lemieux has one game under his belt since being recalled from the Moose, while veteran Matt Hendricks has yet to play this season but is expected to be in the lineup Thursday when the Jets battle the Penguins in Pittsburgh.

  • Towering Tyler Myers Primed and Ready for Training Camp
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/ready-to-make-an-impression-in-the-peg- 443635373.html Towering Tyler Myers primed and ready for training camp By: Jason Bell Tyler Myers talked openly, radiating contentment and a bit of relief, on Monday following a morning skate at the Iceplex with most of his teammates. The Winnipeg Jets defenceman says he’s confident his body has healed, adding he's primed and ready for the NHL club’s official training camp, which begins with medicals Thursday. Most importantly, his young son, Tristan, is healthy too. "Growing like a weed," said the proud papa. "He’s doing well." Indeed, it’s a blessing considering the struggles the little guy went through after he was born five weeks premature in January. Understandably, very little of the family struggle Tyler and his wife, Michela, went through at the time was made public. It was later reported Tristan had been delivered by emergency C-section and was born without about 80 per cent of his blood due to a fetal maternal hemorrhage. For days, the situation was life and death as the newborn received blood transfusions and stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit. Tristan also suffered through seizures and a stroke. Thankfully, several weeks later he had recovered to a point where the new parents could finally take their son home. "It was tough but he’s a little fighter, he got through it and everything’s looking up now," said Myers, of his now eight-month-old son. It was a distressing season for the veteran defenceman, who suited up for just 11 games during the 2016-17 campaign.
