WINNIPEG -- Jesper Wallstedt made 32 saves for his NHL-leading third shutout of the season, and the Minnesota Wild won their fifth straight game, 3-0 against the Winnipeg Jets at Canada Life Centre on Sunday.

Winnipeg Jets star goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will be out for four to six weeks to undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his knee, the NHL team announced Friday.

Nikolaj Ehlers returned to the place he called home for 10 seasons when the Hurricanes visited the Jets on Friday evening.

Kieron Walton is a 6-foot-6, 19-year-old centre who’s scored in bunches since the Jets drafted him in the sixth round in 2024. He was named the OHL’s player of the week on Oct. 27 after scoring eight points in two games. He’s a volume shooter, leading the OHL in shots and taking at least five of them in 10 of the 14 games he’s played this season.

Morrissey appeared to be no worse for wear after returning. He finished the day with 25:49 in ice time, the most of any player in the Sunday matchup. That will be a silver lining for the Jets, who lean heavily on Morrissey as their top defender.
