TSN’s Hockey Insiders with the latest on the Jets and Connor Hellebuyck, Chris Tanev’s injury status, why a Josh Anderson extension is more likely than the UFA market, the Alex DeBrincat extension, Vegas’ non-sellout streak continuing and Landon DuPont’s start to the NCAA season. James Duthie: Your insiders tonight, Chris Johnston and Darren Dreger. One of the stories of the season so far, the fact that the Jets enter Thursday 4-1-1 without Connor Hellebuyck, and suddenly there are these little whispers out there that Hellebuyck could possibly return. Is that feasible, Dregs? Darren Dreger: Well, I mean, it’s a developing story, just the file of Connor Hellebuyck and the Winnipeg Jets because he has not yet been traded. I understand the media speculation around this suggesting that perhaps Hellebuyck wants to return to the Jets because he’s literally hemorrhaging money to this point early in the regular season. That is not the focus of Kevin Cheveldayoff. The Jets are still focused on trying to trade Connor Hellebuyck. Their good start allows them to be patient. Their good goaltending is Stu Skinner, and Clay Stevenson kind of makes this story a sidebar, but it’s still out there.

Pre-Scout: Oilers leaky PK needs bounceback against league-best Mammoth PP - Oilers Nation

The Edmonton Oilers have only surrendered nine goals in the last five games, which speaks to their quality goaltending, structured five-on-five play, and consistent forecheck. The issue with that number is that five of those nine goals are against the Oilers’ penalty kill, which was a point of emphasis for new associate coach DJ Smith after the whipping that PK took in the postseason. That category has been tough sledding overall for the team, which sits at 68.2 per cent for the season, fifth worst in the NHL. The opposition has scored on the power play in five of seven games, and the Utah Mammoth made it happen twice, punishing Josh Samanski’s double-minor for high-sticking and the team’s bench minor on Thursday. The Mammoth PP bumped up to first in the league at 37.5 per cent, and have scored multiple goals on the man advantage in a game a league-best five times. “I think we’re just attacking,” said Barrett Hayton on the power play’s success. He extended his point streak to five games. “Obviously that first unit’s been so good snapping around, they’re so dangerous, and I think they’ve done a great job kind of keeping that mindset.

Islanders vs Maple Leafs Prediction, Picks, Prop Bets For October 17, 2026 - NHL - Covers.com

How can I not go with Auston Matthews after he's cashed this play for us in two straight games? He's clearly on another level now that he's healthy, and his shooting percentage (40%) is among the league's best on the man advantage. When Matthews is shooting, he's hitting twine - he has four goals across his last three games as a result. Let's pot one more against this stingy Islanders defense. I'm loving William Nylander's shot volume right now, as the Leafs winger has registered at least three shots on goal in four consecutive games. He's averaging 6.5 shot attempts per contest, the 23rd-highest mark in the NHL, giving us plenty of reason to believe his hot streak can continue. With the Islanders playing an undisciplined brand of hockey, watch for Willy on the power play to drive us over the line.
