ERIC COMRIE NEWS

Burned by Flames Comrie turned aside 19 of 21 shots in Saturday's 3-1 loss to Calgary, with the Flames' final goal getting scored into an empty net.

Impact The Jets actually out-shot the visitors 39-22 and mostly dominated play, but their offense had trouble solving Dustin Wolf and Comrie had little chance on the two pucks that got past him -- one a rocket by Matt Coronato in the first period, and the other a power-play tally by Andrei Kuzmenko. Comrie hasn't picked up a win since Nov. 1, but he hasn't played poorly as Connor Hellebuyck's infrequently used backup, posting a 2.66 GAA and .906 save percentage in five outings since the beginning of December.

In goal Saturday Comrie will defend the home crease versus Calgary on Saturday, per John Lu of TSN.

Impact Comrie is 3-6-1 with a 2.94 GAA and a .904 save percentage over 10 outings this season. He lost in overtime versus the Kings in his last start, turning aside 21 shots in a 2-1 loss. The Flames are averaging only 2.59 goals per game, 28th in league scoring in 2024-25.

Loses in overtime Comrie stopped 21 of 23 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kings.

Impact Comrie handled the first half of a back-to-back for the first time this season, but he was unable to snap his losing streak. This was at least a good showing from the goalie, though the same can't be said for the Jets' offense, which was held in check by the Kings' firm defense. Comrie is now 3-6-1 with a 2.94 GAA and a .904 save percentage. Expect Connor Hellebuyck to start Saturday at home versus the Avalanche, and he may see steady playing time next week as well -- it's not unusual for Hellebuyck to start four or five games in a row, though Comrie has not had to wait more than 13 days between starts.

Set to start Friday Comrie was the first goalie off and is slated to guard the cage at home against the Kings on Friday, John Lu of TSN reports.

Impact While Connor Hellebuyck normally takes the first game of a back-to-back, it seems the coaching staff wants to save him for Saturday's matchup with the division-rival Avalanche. As such, it figures to be Comrie's crease heading into Friday's contest. The 29-year-old Edmonton native is mired in a six-game losing streak during which he posted a 3.25 GAA and .898 save percentage. Given his struggles, fantasy players probably shouldn't expect to see Comrie in the crease outside of back-to-backs.

Can't snap skid Comrie allowed three goals on 36 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche. The last two goals were empty-netters.

Impact Comrie did a good job of keeping it close, but Casey Mittelstadt's third-period tally was the difference. This was Comrie's sixth straight loss, and he's given up a total of 19 goals in that span. The 29-year-old backup goalie is 3-6-0 with a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage through nine starts. This outing came during a back-to-back set, as have four of his last five appearances. The Jets don't have another back-to-back until Jan. 10 and 11, so expect Connor Hellebuyck to start four of the next five games.

Set to start against Colorado Comrie will tend the twine for Tuesday's road matchup against Colorado, Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press reports.

Impact Comrie didn't appear in any of the Jets' last four games, but he'll make his first start since Dec. 18 on Tuesday. The 29-year-old has struggled over a limited sample this year, and he's gone 0-5-0 with a 3.28 GAA and .894 save percentage over his last five appearances. He'll have a tough test against Colorado, as the Avalanche rank seventh in the NHL with 3.35 goals per game.

Loses it late Comrie stopped 28 of 31 shots in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Ducks.

Impact The Jets were leading 2-1 late in the third period, but the Ducks scored twice in the final five minutes to steal it away. This was Comrie's fifth straight loss, and he's allowed at least three goals in each of those defeats. For the season, he's at a 3-5-0 record with a 3.05 GAA and a .902 save percentage over eight appearances. Expect Connor Hellebuyck to get the nod Saturday versus the Wild.

Impact Comrie will get the second half of a back-to-back after Connor Hellebuyck won a 4-3 game over the Sharks on Tuesday. The 29-year-old Comrie has lost his last four games, allowing 13 goals on 120 shots in that span, but the Ducks make for a good chance for him to get back on track.

Extends losing streak Comrie stopped 24 of 27 shots in Sunday's 4-1 loss to Columbus. The fourth goal was an empty-netter in the third period.

Impact Comrie has dropped his last four starts, and the underlying numbers aren't optimistic either, as he's failed to post a save percentage above the .900 mark in three of those contests. The 29-year-old has gone 3-4-0 with a 3.05 GAA and a .901 save percentage this season, but there's no question he's been trending in the wrong direction of late.

Tending twine Sunday Comrie will protect the home net against Columbus on Sunday, per Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site.

Impact Comrie will get the second half of Winnipeg's back-to-back after Connor Hellebuyck played in Saturday's 4-2 win over Chicago. The 29-year-old Comrie has a 3-3-0 record with a 3.04 GAA and a .903 save percentage across six appearances this season. He stopped 20 shots in a 6-2 victory over the Blue Jackets on Nov. 1. Columbus sits eighth in the league with 3.38 goals per game in 2024-25.

Allows four goals in loss Comrie surrendered four goals on 30 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.

Impact It was a back-and-forth game, but the Golden Knights struck last on a Brett Howden goal with 4:05 left in the third period. This was Comrie's third straight loss, and he's allowed 10 goals in that span. The 29-year-old is at 3-3-0 with a 3.04 GAA and a .903 save percentage through six starts. Those aren't terrible numbers for a backup, but they're not enough to make a dent in Connor Hellebuyck's playing time as the starter. Comrie will likely be back on the bench for Sunday's game against the Stars.

Defeated by Nashville Comrie stopped 32 of 35 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Predators. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 1:20 left in the third period.

Impact Comrie started in the second half of this back-to-back set, but he had a disappointing performance against one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the league en route to a 4-1 defeat. Comrie has dropped his last two starts while stopping 77 of 85 shots in that span. He should return to his regular backup role behind Connor Hellebuyck when the Jets take on the Wild on Monday.
