Samberg had three assists in Saturday's 5-2 win over the Predators.

EDGE Analysis

Samberg participated directly in both of Nino Niederreiter's goals, and he also assisted on Gabriel Vilardi's opening goal. He opened the season with seven straight pointless performances after making his debut on Nov. 13 following an injury sustained in training camp. Perhaps this performance will allow Samberg to finally get things going after an injury-riddled, slow start to the campaign.

Samberg (broken wrist) was activated from injured reserve Thursday, according to the NHL media site.

EDGE Analysis

Samberg suffered the injury during training camp. He missed the first 16 games of the season and is expected to play in Seattle on Thursday. Samberg had six goals and 14 assists in 60 regular-season games in 2024-25. Samberg is expected to play alongside Neal Pionk on the blue line with Luke Schenn sitting this one out as the extra defenseman.

Samberg (upper body) will be out of action for 6-8 weeks after sustaining a broken wrist, Mitchell Clinton of the Jets' official site reports Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Samberg was likely going to start the season on the Jets' second pairing but instead will miss the first two months of the 2025-26 campaign. With the Minnesota native on the shelf, it will open up a roster spot for the likes of Logan Stanley or Ville Heinola, while Colin Miller could see the biggest uptick in ice time.

Samberg sustained an apparent upper-body injury Saturday versus the Flames and will be evaluated in the coming days, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Ken Wiebe of The Winnipeg Free Press reported that Samberg took a hit from Ryan Lomberg that left the former favoring his left shoulder or arm. Samberg's potential absence could open the door for Logan Stanley or Haydn Fleury to play a larger role at the start of the season.

Samberg signed a three-year, $17.25 million contract with the Jets on Wednesday, Murat Ates of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

After appearing in a career-high 78 regular-season games with Winnipeg during the 2023-24 season, Samberg was limited to just 60 regular-season appearances last year, but his efficiency improved in most areas. The 26-year-old logged six goals, 14 assists, 120 blocked shots, 56 hits, 26 PIM and a plus-34 rating while averaging 21:08 of ice time. The blueliner should continue to play a prominent role for Winnipeg over the next several years.

Samberg notched an assist, three shots on goal, two hits and a plus-1 rating in Sunday's 4-3 double-overtime win over the Blues in Game 7.

EDGE Analysis

Samberg helped out on a Vladislav Namestnikov goal in the final two minutes of regulation. The 26-year-old Samberg isn't a big producer on offense, but he has three assists over his last four games. The defenseman has added 11 shots on net, seven hits, five blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over seven appearances. He played 44:00 in Game 7 due to Josh Morrissey's (upper body) early exit and the double-overtime factor, and Samberg will continue to see heavy minutes as a shutdown blueliner throughout the postseason.

Samberg produced an assist and went plus-3 in Wednesday's 5-3 win over the Blues in Game 5.

EDGE Analysis

This was Samberg's second straight game with a helper. He got on the scoresheet in consecutive contests just three times throughout the regular season. He serves as the more defensive half of a pairing with Neal Pionk, so it's no surprise that Samberg isn't prolific on offense. This postseason, Samberg has two helpers, six shots on net, seven hits, four blocked shots and a plus-3 rating over five appearances.

Samberg logged an assist in Sunday's 5-1 loss to the Blues in Game 4.

EDGE Analysis

Samberg ended a five-game point drought with the helper. He has just two assists over his last 14 games dating back to March 28. The defenseman produced a career-best 20 points with 95 shots on net, 120 blocked shots, 56 hits and a plus-34 rating in 60 regular-season outings. Samberg plays a shutdown role, which has led to him producing five shots on net, three blocked shots, four hits and an even plus-minus rating over four playoff contests.

Samberg recorded an assist, three shots on goal and two PIM in Saturday's 5-4 shootout win over the Blackhawks.

EDGE Analysis

Samberg snapped a seven-game skid on offense. The 26-year-old has held down a second-pairing spot when healthy this season, and he's been pretty effective in that role. His helper Saturday got him to the 20-point mark for the first time in his career. He's at six goals, 14 assists, 91 shots on net, 116 blocked shots, 54 hits and a plus-35 rating over 58 outings.

Samberg logged an assist and blocked four shots in Thursday's 4-3 overtime win over the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Samberg's offense continues to shine through lately -- he has two goals and three helpers over his last seven games. It's unclear if this is an evolution in his play or just a brief stretch of success that can happen for a top-four defender. Samberg has matched his career high of 18 points, doing so with six goals and 12 helpers, as well as 75 shots on net, 93 blocked shots, 45 hits and a plus-30 rating, over 48 contests in 2024-25.
