Morgan Barron<\/a> and Cole Koepke, off injured reserve, and to make room for the returning players, they sent down Lambert, Nikita Chibrikov, and Parker Ford. For which, it seems that Lambert is clearly frustrated that he\u2019s not getting the NHL minutes he wants and needs to continue his development.<\/p>\nJets’ Brad Lambert Pokes Home First Career Goal vs. Penguins<\/p>\n
Earlier today, on his 32 Thoughts Podcast, Elliotte Friedman spoke about this situation and mentioned how the spot Lambert was in is difficult and makes sense that he would look for an opportunity elsewhere. “Winnipeg is a good team, he’s got to be a top-six forward. You look at that lineup, there’s really not a lot of room for him and maybe 20 years ago, he might have waited longer and been patient, that’s not the way today’s players are wired,” Friedman said.Lambert has appeared in four NHL games this season, recording one goal while receiving limited ice time. In total, the 21-year-old has played 10 career NHL games over three seasons, registering one goal and two assists. He scored his first career goal just two weeks ago against the Pittsburgh Penguins, but was reassigned to the AHL on Tuesday.It is to be noted that Lambert has appeared in 10 NHL games since making his Jets debut in the 2023-24 season, collecting one goal and three points. He has also racked up 30 goals and 93 points in 141 career AHL games over parts of four seasons with the Moose.Also read: NHL Injury Update: Winnipeg Jets face setback as goalie Connor Hellebuyck sidelined due to major knee surgery | NHL News – The Times of India<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Winnipeg Jets’ Brad Lambert (93), Cole Koepke (45) and Parker Ford (25) celebrate Lambert’s goal against the Pittsburgh…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300032,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,171519,171521,171518,171520,575,71518,10607,85,6000],"class_list":{"0":"post-300031","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nhl","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-brad-lambert-permission","11":"tag-brad-lambert-stats","12":"tag-brad-lambert-trade","13":"tag-jets-nhl-roster","14":"tag-nhl","15":"tag-nhl-trade-news","16":"tag-nhl-trade-rumors","17":"tag-sports","18":"tag-winnipeg-jets"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300031\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/300032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Winnipeg Jets’ Brad Lambert (93), Cole Koepke (45) and Parker Ford (25) celebrate Lambert’s goal against the Pittsburgh Penguins. (Image via AP) The Winnipeg Jets have granted forward Brad Lambert permission to explore trade possibilities with other NHL clubs, according to a report by Frank Seravalli on Thursday afternoon. So far, Lambert has played in four games for Winnipeg this season, registering one goal and averaging 9:02 of ice time per game. The 6-foot-1 center has also appeared in two contests with the AHL\u2019s Manitoba Moose, where he has been held without a point but recorded six shots on goal. He was selected 30th overall in the first round of the 2022 NHL Draft, and he is in the second year of his entry-level deal, which includes one additional season. It is to be noted that he carries a cap hit of $88.6 million.According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli, Winnipeg has given his camp permission to seek a trade partner. Moreover, as the Jets are in \u201cwin-now\u201d mode with returning veterans, it has squeezed Lambert\u2019s potential to fit in the team at this moment.<\/p>\n
