Thomas Milic - NHL News & Rumors

Concedes four goals in loss Milic turned aside 23 of 27 shots during Saturday's 5-2 preseason loss to the Oilers. The fifth goal was an empty-netter.

Impact Milic drew the start during Saturday's preseason opener and wasn't particularly sharp during his first tune-up ahead of the 2026-27 campaign. The Jets have some uncertainty in the crease ahead of the upcoming season due to Connor Hellebuyck's suspension amid his trade request, so Milic is in the mix to serve as Stuart Skinner's primary backup.

Starting Saturday Milic will defend the road net in Saturday's preseason game against Edmonton, according to Jamie Thomas of the Jets' official site.

Impact Milic registered a 20-13-6 record with a 2.64 GAA and a .905 save percentage in 41 appearances for AHL Manitoba in the 2025-26 regular season. With Connor Hellebuyck suspended and awaiting a resolution to his trade request, the 23-year-old Milic will compete in camp to begin the 2026-27 campaign as Stuart Skinner's backup.

Sharp in shutout for Manitoba Milic posted a 32-save shutout in AHL Manitoba's 1-0 win over Belleville on Saturday.

Impact Milic has four shutouts this season, including three over his last nine outings. The 22-year-old goalie is up to 17-11-4 with a 2.45 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 33 appearances this season. Milic has taken some strides this year in his development, but it's unclear if he'll start seeing more regular NHL minutes in 2026-27.

Back-to-back AHL shutouts Milic logged a 30-save shutout in AHL Manitoba's 4-0 win over Abbotsford on Tuesday.

Impact Milic has recorded shutouts in consecutive games, giving him three on the year. He's up to 14-7-4 with a 2.39 GAA and a .911 save percentage over 26 outings this season. Milic's recent momentum could position him well for a call-up if something happens to one of the Jets' NHL netminders.

Picks up AHL shutout Milic posted a 31-save shutout in AHL Manitoba's 1-0 win over Toronto on Sunday.

Impact This was Milic's second shutout of the season. He's at a 13-7-4 record with a 2.49 GAA and a .907 save percentage over 25 outings this season. Those are career-best numbers for the 22-year-old goalie, though he continues to share the AHL crease with Domenic DiVincentiis.

Returned to minors Milic was reassigned to AHL Manitoba on Monday.

Impact In a corresponding move, the Jets brought up Dominic DiVincentiis, trading out their backup netminder, likely as a way to get Milic back into the crease for the Moose. With Connor Hellebuyck (knee) still on the shelf, it's possible we see these two young netminders switched again in the future. For now, Milic heads back to AHL Manitoba, where he is sporting a 2.14 GAA and a 5-2-2 record in nine outings this year.

Needed in relief Saturday Milic stopped nine of 11 shots in relief of Eric Comrie in Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Oilers.

Impact Comrie was stuck with the loss after a poor first period, but Milic didn't fare much better even as the Oilers eased up over the final two frames. This was Milic's second relief outing in the last four games. He's now allowed eight goals on 62 shots over three NHL appearances. The Jets are spiraling without Connor Hellebuyck (knee), but Milic hasn't shown enough to earn a larger share of playing time as the team tries to tread water for the next month or so.

Allows two in relief effort Milic made 15 saves on 17 attempts on goal in Monday's 5-1 loss to Buffalo.

Impact Milic entered the contest at the start of the second period in relief of Eric Comrie. Milic allowed one goal in each of the final two periods to keep himself out of contention for the loss. Overall, the 22-year-old goalie has a 0-1-0 record with a 3.64 GAA and an .882 save percentage through his first two NHL appearances. While he's yet to find the win column, Monday's outing was a step forward in the long road to becoming a consistent NHL netminder. With Connor Hellebuyck predicted to be sidelined until 2026 with a knee injury, Milic should have a handful of chances to win the backup job moving forward. His next chance to take the ice is Wednesday in Montreal.

Falls short in NHL debut Milic allowed four goals on 34 shots in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Hurricanes, who also scored an empty-netter.

Impact Milic did his best to keep the Jets in the game for 50-plus minutes, but the Hurricanes' relentless pressure took over late in the contest. The 22-year-old ended up with a rougher final line than he deserved in his NHL debut, but this was an excellent first test for him. Milic will likely have to make a handful of starts while the Jets await the return of Connor Hellebuyck (knee). Expect Eric Comrie to get the nod Saturday in Nashville.

Starting against Carolina Milic will start on the road against Carolina on Friday.

Impact Milic is making his NHL debut. He has a 2.14 GAA and a .921 save percentage in nine appearances with AHL Manitoba this season. He's up with the Jets because Connor Hellebuyck (knee) is unavailable. Carolina is a tough team to get for a first assignment -- the Hurricanes are 14-6-2 and rank third in goals per game with 3.50.

Jets goalie Hellebuyck to undergo arthroscopic procedure on his knee and miss 4 to 6 weeks

The Winnipeg Jets say goaltender Connor Hellebuyck will undergo an arthroscopic procedure on his knee and be out four to six weeks

NOVEMBER 21, 2025 • Associated Press

Recalled from AHL Milic was called up from AHL Manitoba on Friday.

Impact The Jets are in need of a goaltender after learning that Connor Hellebuyck requires arthroscopic knee surgery and will be out of action for 4-6 weeks. Eric Comrie will be the No. 1 goaltender in the interim with Milic backing him up. Milic was terrific at the AHL level this season, posting a 5-2-2 record with a 2.14 GAA and a .921 save percentage across nine starts.

Posts shutout against Tucson Milic recorded a 26-save shutout in AHL Manitoba's 2-0 win over Tucson.

Impact This was Milic's first win of the season. He's allowed seven goals on 77 shots so far. Milic struggled to a 5-12-3 record with a 3.44 GAA and an .877 save percentage over 21 regular-season games with Manitoba last year. He's sharing the crease with Domenic DiVincentiis for now, though neither goalie has much of a chance of being a major factor at the NHL level this year as long as Connor Hellebuyck and Eric Comrie stay healthy.
