Hot start in AHL — 5 goals in 6 games Via @FriedgeHNIC on X

What happened: Winnipeg added Yager from the Manitoba Moose early in the 2026-27 regular season. He scored five goals across six AHL games to earn the move.

Why it matters: The call-up gives Winnipeg a look at a young scorer during early roster evaluation. His production positions him for NHL minutes if offense becomes a need.

By the numbers: 5 goals in 6 AHL games with Manitoba.

What to watch: Watch whether Yager draws into the lineup and where he slots.
