The Connor Hellebuyck saga could be about to end in Winnipeg. TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger reports trade talks are escalating with the Winnipeg Jets and a deal could take place as soon as Friday. It remains unclear where Hellebuyck will land when his trade request is honoured. TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun has previously listed the Carolina Hurricanes, Buffalo Sabres and Utah Mammoth as possible suitors. A trade would months of speculation about the netminder’s future after he initially expressed frustrations with the team’s direction in April and formally requested a trade over the summer. That turned into an unpaid suspension when Hellebuyck did not report to training camp last month. It could also come on the same day Hellebuyck’s suspension was set to end. It was revealed last week that the netminder informed the Jets he planned to report ahead of their opening game and was then given a three-week disciplinary suspension for skipping camp. The development also arrives after it was speculated Thursday that things could go on hold until after the weekend to allow the Jets to keep their focus on Saturday’s Heritage Classic against the Montreal Canadiens.

In a fresh hammer blow for Kenyan athletics, world marathon champion Peres Jepchirchir has been provisionally suspended for doping, the Athletics Integrity Unit announced on Friday. The highly-decorated 33-year-old Kenyan, who won Olympic gold in the Covid-delayed Tokyo Games in 2021, was suspended after an out-of-competition sample tested positive for banned blood booster EPO. The athlete is provisionally suspended while the case is investigated, while the AIU said Jepchirchir’s out-of-competition sample had been collected in Kenya prior to her recent Sydney Marathon victory. More than 140 Kenyan athletes, including current women’s marathon world record-holder Ruth Chepngetich, have been suspended or banned by the AIU since 2017. Jepchirchir’s lauded career includes a world record in the half-marathon while she is a four-time World Marathon Major winner, having captured the Sydney Marathon (2026), the London Marathon (2024), the Boston Marathon (2022) and the New York Marathon (2021). The decision of World Athletics to award Nairobi the 2029 world championships is likely to increase the scrutiny of the east African nation’s anti-doping policies.
