The Winnipeg Jets have suspended goaltender Connor Hellebuyck after he did not report to training camp, globalnews.ca reports.
The team announced the suspension after the netminder failed to join the club for the start of camp. The news was published on Thursday, September 17, 2026, and was also reported by NHL.com and CBC, both of which confirmed the suspension.
Hellebuyck is one of the Jets' most prominent players, and his absence from camp is the latest development in an ongoing situation between the team and its starting goaltender. TSN has raised the question of what kind of trade offer might persuade Winnipeg to move him, suggesting that a deal could be part of the broader story. The Winnipeg Free Press, meanwhile, has been covering what to watch as the Jets open training camp.
The suspension means Hellebuyck will not take part in camp activities while the matter is unresolved. The Jets have not offered further detail beyond confirming the suspension, and no timeline has been given for when the situation might be settled.
What to watch next: whether Winnipeg and Hellebuyck's representatives reach any resolution, and whether trade discussions reported by TSN advance in the days ahead.
