Danil Zhilkin - NHL News & Rumors | FOX Sports

Sent to waivers Zhilkin was placed on waivers by the Jets on Sunday, per Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press.

Impact Zhilkin just missed the cut on making Winnipeg's Opening Night roster as a depth winger. The 22-year-old forward had a brief trial run with the NHL club in the middle of the 2025-26 campaign, where he posted an assist, four shots on net, a plus-three rating, five hits and four blocked shots across six regular-season games. He has the potential to suit up for the Jets in some capacity in the upcoming campaign and beyond, but to begin 2026-27, he'll return to AHL Manitoba for his fourth season with the Moose.

Impact This was Zhilkin's first NHL point, coming in his sixth appearance. The 22-year-old has added four shots on net, five hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating while playing in a fourth-line role.

Called up from minors Zhilkin was promoted from AHL Manitoba on Wednesday.

For the season, he has four goals and seven points across 15 games. The 21-year-old forward has still made a noticeable improvement on last year, when he was limited to 10 points in 53 regular-season outings.

Opens AHL campaign with two points Zhilkin scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in AHL Manitoba's 4-1 win over Laval on Friday.

Impact Zhilkin has yet to display much of a scoring touch in the AHL, producing just 17 points in 97 regular-season outings over his first two campaigns. However, the 21-year-old Russian has been a bit young for the league in those years. If he can stay healthy, he may be able to get into more of a groove in 2025-26.

Impact Zhilkin was limited to just 44 games with AHL Manitoba last year due to his shoulder problem. In those outings, the 20-year-old center notched two goals, five assists and 22 PIM. Given his injury history and limited offensive upside, Zhilkin will almost certainly spend the majority of the 2024-25 campaign playing in the minors with the Moose.
