Brayden Yager - NHL News & Rumors

Sent down Friday Yager was loaned to AHL Manitoba on Friday.

Impact Yager was called up by the Jets on Monday, and he was held scoreless with a shot on goal in 14:38 of ice time during his lone appearance with the NHL club. He'll be sent back down Friday to help make room for the Jets' multiple players acquired in their trade involving Connor Hellebuyck. Yager has been productive with Manitoba early in the 2026-27 campaign, recording five goals, four assists and four PIM across six regular-season appearances, and he'll be a candidate to rejoin the Jets if they need additional depth at some point.

Recalled from minors Yager was summoned from AHL Manitoba on Monday.

Impact In a corresponding move, Winnipeg moved Josh Morrissey (wrist) to injured reserve. Yager has notched five goals and four assists in six AHL appearances this campaign. He could make his NHL season debut as early as Tuesday's road matchup against St. Louis, but it's unclear if he will be in the lineup. He could be with the Jets just for insurance during the team's three-game road trip.

Adds three points in AHL win Yager scored twice and added an assist in AHL Manitoba's 7-4 win over Texas on Friday.

Impact Yager has started well in the AHL this year. He has four goals, three assists, 13 shots on net and a plus-5 rating across five appearances. Yager will need to show some consistency over a longer stretch to get a call-up, but he doesn't seem to be too far away from an NHL look.

Collects three points in Moose win Yager scored twice and added an assist in AHL Manitoba's 8-3 win over Chicago on Sunday.

Impact Yager's development has been slower than expected. He produced 30 points in 68 regular-season games with the Moose last year, adding a minus-15 rating and 108 shots on net. The 21-year-old is off to a good start this year, but he'll need sustained success at the AHL level to earn another call-up to the Jets.

Impact Yager made his NHL debut against Vegas on Monday. He didn't earn a point in three appearances with the Jets down the stretch, but he provided two shots on goal. Yager has 10 goals and 20 assists in 68 AHL contests this campaign.

Recalled from minors Yager was brought up from AHL Manitoba on Sunday under emergency conditions.

Impact Yager produced 10 goals and 30 points in 68 minor-league outings this season. It's unclear if he will play during Winnipeg's upcoming two-game road trip, but he could make his NHL debut as soon as Monday's matchup against Vegas.

Nabs two assists for Moose Yager registered two assists in AHL Manitoba's 3-2 win over Texas on Saturday.

Impact With that performance, Yager has his first multi-point effort in the AHL. The 20-year-old forward has had an unremarkable start to his professional career with six points over 12 outings this season. He had 52 points in 33 regular-season games with WHL Lethbridge last season. Yager clearly still needs some time to adjust to the pro ranks, but he should be a fine addition to the Jets' roster in a year or two, though perhaps as a player with more value on the ice than in fantasy.

Called up Friday Yager was recalled from WHL Lethbridge on Friday.

Impact Yager will link up with the Jets following the conclusion of his WHL season. For the Hurricanes, the 20-year-old center notched 14 goals and 38 assists in 33 regular-season contests before adding another 14 points in 16 playoff games. Yager figures to link up with the other Black Aces that Winnipeg added and is unlikely to see minutes. Still, Yager should be in the mix for a spot on the roster heading into the 2025-26 campaign.

MAY 2, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Holding steady Yager has racked up 21 goals and 39 assists over 38 games between WHL Moose Jaw and Lethbridge.

Impact Yager started the year as Moose Jaw's captain, but he was involved in a midseason trade to aid Lethbridge's push to stay competitive. He also suited up for Canada during the World Junior Championship, earning three assists over five games. On the whole, Yager's production is close to his pace from last season (95 points over 57 regular-season outings). The Jets' excellent 2024-25 means they won't have any need to rush Yager to the NHL -- the 20-year-old is likely a year or two away from competing for a spot with the big club considering the Jets have prospects like Brad Lambert and Chaz Lucius percolating with AHL Manitoba.
