Winnipeg Jets Top 10 Prospects For 2025-26 – The Hockey Writers – Jets Prospects

The Winnipeg Jets have been in win-now mode for the past number of seasons and as a result have traded away quite a few high-round draft picks for NHL-ready players. However, general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff has still selected a number of players over the past few drafts the organization hopes will blossom into impactful big-leaguers within a few seasons (or sooner).

Here, we’ll take a look at the Top 10 Prospects in the Jets’ system for 2025-26.

The exact definition of a prospect varies from person to person and publication to publication, but here’s the criteria for this article:

• The player must be 23 years old or younger
• The player must have played fewer than 100 NHL games
• The player must be either signed to an NHL contract or selected in an NHL Entry Draft. Players signed to American Hockey League (AHL) contracts don’t count.

10: Domenic DiVincentiis

• Position: Goaltender
• Drafted: 207th Overall (7th Round) 2022 NHL Entry Draft
• Catches: Left
• Height/weight: 6-foot-2, 194 pounds

The now 21-year-old goaltender raised his stock with a strong rookie pro season in 2024-25. The Ontarian started the campaign in the AHL with the Manitoba Moose, was sent down to the ECHL’s Norfolk Admirals when Kaapo Kahkonen was re-acquired off waivers from the Colorado Avalanche, then was called up again in late January due to Thomas Milic’s struggles. The former North Bay Battalion standout became the Moose’s primary goalie from February onward and put up the best numbers of any of the four netminders to tend the team’s crease.

In the AHL, DiVincentiis posted a 13-12-2-2 record, 2.84 goals against average (GAA) and .906 Save Percentage (SV%). He captured his first professional shutout in the Moose’s final game of the season on April 19 in a 1-0 win over the Texas Stars. In the ECHL, he had a 15-5-0 record, 2.97 GAA, and .896 SV% in 20 starts. In the ECHL Kelly Cup Playoffs, he had a 1-1 record with a 3.00 GAA.
