The Winnipeg Jets‘ newest offseason additions officially have their numbers.
The club revealed the jersey numbers for five new players this week, giving fans another glimpse of what the roster will look like heading into training camp. While not every newcomer is guaranteed to crack Winnipeg’s opening-night lineup, each now has an official sweater number for the 2026-27 season.

Here’s how the numbers shake out:

Of the group, Skinner and Ferraro are expected to have the biggest impact after joining Winnipeg as unrestricted free agents.
Skinner signed a two-year contract with the Jets after splitting last season between the Edmonton Oilers and Pittsburgh Penguins. The 27-year-old has appeared in more than 200 NHL games and helped Edmonton reach the Stanley Cup Final in back-to-back seasons.
His jersey choice also makes a little bit of Jets history. Skinner becomes the first player ever to wear No. 74 since the franchise relocated to Winnipeg in 2011, giving the veteran goaltender a number all his own.
Ferraro, meanwhile, will wear No. 38 after signing a three-year contract with Winnipeg. The left-shot defenceman arrives after spending the first seven seasons of his NHL career with the San Jose Sharks, where he appeared in 490 games.

The number was most recently worn by Logan Shaw and Paul Postma, making Ferraro the latest player to don No. 38 for the Jets.
The remaining newcomers each inherit numbers with their own Jets history attached.
Thrun selected No. 8, a sweater most recently worn by Saku Mäenalanen and Sami Niku. The number is perhaps best remembered from Jacob Trouba‘s seven seasons with the organization before his 2019 trade to the New York Rangers.
Gregor will wear No. 73, following Brandon Tanev, Parker Ford and Tyler Toffoli as recent Jets to sport the number, while St. Ivany takes over No. 6, most recently worn by Colin Miller after also being worn by Cameron Schilling and Alexander Burmistrov during the Jets 2.0 era.

Whether all five players suit up for Winnipeg this season remains to be seen. Skinner and Ferraro are expected to fill regular NHL roles, while Thrun, Gregor and St. Ivany will look to earn opportunities during training camp.
For now, though, Winnipeg’s newest additions officially have names, numbers and a little piece of franchise history attached to each sweater.
