GDT: GAME 68 - Sunday, March 16th, 2025 - Winnipeg Jets at Seattle Kraken - 8:00pm CDT - TSN3 - CJOB/Power 97

Did Helly get much of a warmup? Guessing its similar for both goalies.
New rule change for this season allows for the backup goalie to get a warm up if he has to come into the game.


Backup Goaltender Warm-Ups After Injury (Rules 5.3/8.2)


Previously, backup goaltenders had to come in cold. Now they’ll get a “brief warm-up” with no specific time provided, so it looks like it’ll be up to the refs’ judgment. A good move to help avoid further injuries — especially when the guy is coming in to replace someone already injured.


When a goalkeeper is removed from the game for mandatory medical evaluation/injury, the replacement goalkeeper may be afforded a brief warm-up.

The key to all that is refs judgement. Refs don’t like the Jets , so no warmup for you.
