Mason Appleton activated off of IR

Mason Appleton returns to Winnipeg, activated off of IR

Michigan State hockey has seen a ton of success in recent memory, but prior to that, there has been a ton of Spartans that have made their way to the NHL. Mason Appleton is one former Spartan that fits the bill.

Having a successful career with the Winnipeg Jets, in his seventh season, Appleton had to spend some time on injured reserve, but now, he has returned.

Appleton will be back in the Jets lineup for their big time matchup against the Colorado Avalanche.

Former Spartan placed on injured reserve

A former Spartan has been placed on IR with a week to week injury

Mason Appleton has carved himself a nice career in the National Hockey League after spending two years in East Lansing. A member of the Winnipeg Jets for seven seasons, and a quick half season stretch with the Seattle Kraken, Appleton is having a very nice year for the league leading Jets.

Unfortunately, Appleton will not be seeing the ice anytime soon, after he was placed on injured reserve on Saturday. The lower body injury is considered to be week to week.

He has 6 goals and 9 assists to go along with a +8 rating in 2024-25.

Pierre-Luc Dubois trade: Who won the Kings and Jets deal?

Now this is quite the king’s ransom for Pierre-Luc Dubois.

It wasn’t that long ago that Pierre-Luc Dubois was being penciled into the Montreal Canadiens’ 2023-24 lineup for Game 1. Instead, the Dubois to Montreal dream is dead after the Los Angeles Kings swooped in with a big offseason splash.

On Tuesday, the Winnipeg Jets sent Dubois to the Kings in a massive sign-and-trade that comes with an eight-year, $68 million extension. The deal comes just over a day removed from the highly-anticipated 2023 NHL Draft, with some major moves already made in the lead up to the event.

It’s not often we get enormous sign-and-trades like this one in the NHL, especially with how stagnant the salary cap has been. The Kings really went for it by trading for Dubois and his gifted offensive talent, but did they pay too high a price?

With the draft only one day away, let’s take a look at how the Jets and the Kings grade out in this trade for Dubois.

Jets’ Morgan Barron returns to playoff game after 75 stitches to close up a horrifying facial cut

He returned to the bench after receiving 75 (!!) stitches.

Look, this is not a way of celebrating Winnipeg Jets forward Morgan Barron returning to the ice on Tuesday in their Game 1 playoff win over the Vegas Golden Knights.

I’m merely reporting what happened. Barron got cut by the sharp skate of Golden Knights netminder Laurent Brossoit above his eye, with blood pouring out everywhere, received 75 — yes, 75 — stitches … and returned to the game.

You can watch the video of what happened below and Barron talking about it, and I’ve tried really hard to avoid any video of the result of the cut. I’m glad he’s OK! He seemed in good spirits after the game:

 

Geez!

The Winnipeg Jets had the best joke tweet about Aaron Rodgers joining the New York Jets

These are not the Jets you’re looking for.

These are not the Jets you’re looking for.

Aaron Rodgers inches closer to becoming a member of the New York Jets after the news on Wednesday that he plans to move on from the Green Bay Packers to play in the AFC East next season. Rodgers leaving Green Bay behind for the even greener pastures of East Rutherford, New Jersey is the biggest story in the NFL by far this offseason, so it only makes sense the Winnipeg Jets would jump in on the fun.

While the rest of the NFL got its first look at Rodgers in a New York Jets jersey, the Winnipeg Jets gave us a hilarious sneak peak at what it’d be like if the quarterback suited up for the good old hockey game instead!

Not too bad!

The Rodgers news inspired many to fire off some good tweets after he announced his decision on the The Pat McAfee Show. That being said, if Rodgers is headed to the Winnipeg Jets after all, he better start driving now since the city — famously — does not have an airport.

Stars goalie Scott Wedgewood makes bizarre shoulder save to prevent Jets goal

Shoulder save!

Dallas Stars goalie Scott Wedgewood took his job to keep the puck out of the goal very seriously Tuesday night against the Winnipeg Jets.

The Stars and Jets entered Tuesday’s game toward the top of the Central Division, with both teams very eager to snag two points.

On a Blake Wheeler shot to the net for the Jets, the puck took a weird bounce off the stick and somehow landed on Wedgewood’s shoulder to prevent the goal.

It looked like a slick move on Wheeler’s behalf until gravity and physics sided with Wedgewood, who sported the puck on his shoulder like a chatty parrot flanking a friendly pirate.

They say that the puck doesn’t lie, and in this case, the puck does lie, just on Wedgewood’s shoulder.

After all, the goalie’s Twitter handle is “@wedgewall,” which was apt on this insane save.

If the Stars really want to make hay in the Western Conference, they should keep a chip on their shoulder for the rest of the year, or at the very least, a few more pucks on Wedgewood’s.

WATCH: MSU hockey alumnus Mason Appleton scores key playoff goal for Winnipeg Jets

Michigan State hockey alum Mason Appleton scored a big first-period goal in Winnipeg’s Monday night win over Edmonton.

[jwplayer oJWdEO9Y-PROpJzTY]

Michigan State hockey alumnus Mason Appleton is making his presence felt in this year’s NHL playoffs. The Winnipeg Jets finished a sweep of the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night, and Appleton played a key role in most of the series, averaging just over 19 minutes of ice time.

Late in the first period of Monday night’s game, Appleton made a great play with his stick, deflecting a shot from the point into the back of the net to restore the Winnipeg lead.

You can watch Appleton’s key goal here:

Appleton was a standout at MSU from 2015-2017 before being selected in the sixth round of the NHL draft by the Jets.

Coyotes at Jets: Projected starting goalies

Darcy Kuemper vs. Connor Hellebuyck

The Coyotes have eased Kuemper back after a lengthy absence due to a knee injury, but he’s likely to make his third start within a week. He is 10-3-1 with a 2.03 goals against average and .932 save percentage in 14 starts on the road. He allowed two goals on 40 shots in a 4-2 win in Winnipeg back on Oct. 15, too.

Hellebuyck is on fire, as he posted his league-leading sixth shutout with 29 saves in a 4-0 win over the Vegas Golden Knights Friday. He improved to 29-21-5 with a 2.59 GAA and .921 SV% through 54 starts and two relief appearances. He has four of those shutouts at home, and he is 17-11-3 with a 2.44 GAA And .924 SV%. He was on the losing side of the Oct. 15 game against the Coyotes, yielding four goals.

Prediction

Jets 4, Coyotes 1

Moneyline (ML)

The JETS (-125) are playing really good hockey lately, and they have wins over the Golden Knights and Washington Capitals to prove they could be quite a danger in the playoffs, as well. They’re a bit expensive on the moneyline, however, thanks mostly due to Hellebuyck’s hot streak. Look to the puck line for a better value.

New to sports betting? A $10 bet on the Jets to grab the road win returns a profit of $8, while a $10 wager on the Coyotes (+105) nets a profit of $10.50.

Puck Line/Against the Spread (ATS)

The JETS (-1.5, +220) are a much better play on the puck line. In fact, in each of their past five victories, they have also covered the 1.5-goal spread. They’ve gone 10-1 on the puck line in their past 11 victories. The Coyotes (+1.5, -278) were a monster on the road earlier this season, but they’re just 2-11 across their past 13 games away from the desert.

Over/Under (O/U)

The UNDER 5.5 (-121) is worth a small-unit play. The Under has connected in four straight for the Jets, as Hellebuyck has been yielding next to nothing. The opposition has totaled just four goals across his past four outings, while the Jets have posted 3.0 goals per game during the span. Winnipeg’s goaltending situation is driving this bet, and the play is ‘Under’.
