Winnipeg Jets Make Starting Goalie Decision Ahead Of Ducks Clash

The Winnipeg Jets have named Clay Stevenson as their projected starting goaltender for Friday night's clash against the Anaheim Ducks. Stevenson enters the matchup following a strong season debut where he stopped 29 of 31 shots against the Pittsburgh Penguins. The decision indicates the Jets are utilizing a goaltending rotation between Stevenson and Stuart Skinner while primary netminder Connor Hellebuyck remains away from the team.

Winnipeg also adjusted its skating lines due to injuries, with Dylan Samberg moving onto the top defensive pairing alongside Dylan DeMelo in place of Josh Morrissey. The Anaheim Ducks are projected to counter with Lukas Dostal in goal, supported by a top offensive line featuring Leo Carlsson and Cutter Gauthier.
