Winnipeg Jets Announce Several Changes to Players' Jersey Numbers

The Winnipeg Jets will be icing a roster next season with a lot of new faces, and many of these players require some new jersey numbers, which were revealed today.

The Winnipeg Jets hope their new, recent acquisitions can compensate for the departure of core players going into the 2025-26 season.

These new additions include forwards Gustav Nyquist and Tanner Pearson, both of whom signed one-year deals earlier in July. Gustav Nyquist, age 35, is a veteran with offensive upside.

He recorded 28 points (11 goals, 17 assists) in 79 games last season with Nashville and Minnesota, and is only two years removed from his career-high 75 points.

Winnipeg intends to utilize him in a top-six capacity, just like the Predators did during his career-high season

Tanner Pearson, age 30, tallied 27 points (12 goals, 15 assists) in 78 games with the Vegas Golden Knights last season.

He's expected to play in the middle six, a position of need, particularly with captain Adam Lowry recovering from hip surgery and likely to be out until at least late October, or possibly even longer.

A total of 11 updated Jersey Numbers Were Revealed by the Jets Today

The Jets today revealed new jersey numbers for several of their players, including Nyquist and Pearson, along with nine others on their roster.
