Comrie stopped 21 of 23 shots in Friday's 2-1 overtime loss to the Kings.
Comrie handled the first half of a back-to-back for the first time this season, but he was unable to snap his losing streak. This was at least a good showing from the goalie, though the same can't be said for the Jets' offense, which was held in check by the Kings' firm defense. Comrie is now 3-6-1 with a 2.94 GAA and a .904 save percentage. Expect Connor Hellebuyck to start Saturday at home versus the Avalanche, and he may see steady playing time next week as well -- it's not unusual for Hellebuyck to start four or five games in a row, though Comrie has not had to wait more than 13 days between starts.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Set to start Friday
Rotowire
Comrie was the first goalie off and is slated to guard the cage at home against the Kings on Friday, John Lu of TSN reports.
While Connor Hellebuyck normally takes the first game of a back-to-back, it seems the coaching staff wants to save him for Saturday's matchup with the division-rival Avalanche. As such, it figures to be Comrie's crease heading into Friday's contest. The 29-year-old Edmonton native is mired in a six-game losing streak during which he posted a 3.25 GAA and an .898 save percentage. Given his struggles, fantasy players probably shouldn't expect to see Comrie in the crease outside of back-to-backs.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Can't snap skid
Rotowire
Comrie allowed three goals on 36 shots in Tuesday's 5-2 loss to the Avalanche. The last two goals were empty-netters.
Comrie did a good job of keeping it close, but Casey Mittelstadt's third-period tally was the difference. This was Comrie's sixth straight loss, and he's given up a total of 19 goals in that span. The 29-year-old backup goalie is 3-6-0 with a 3.05 GAA and a .904 save percentage through nine starts. This outing came during a back-to-back set, as have four of his last five appearances. The Jets don't have another back-to-back until Jan. 10 and 11, so expect Connor Hellebuyck to start four of the next five games.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Allows four goals in loss
Rotowire
Comrie surrendered four goals on 30 shots in Friday's 4-3 loss to the Golden Knights.
It was a back-and-forth game, but the Golden Knights struck last on a Brett Howden goal with 4:05 left in the third period. This was Comrie's third straight loss, and he's allowed 10 goals in that span. The 29-year-old is at 3-3-0 with a 3.04 GAA and a .903 save percentage through six starts.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Defeated by Nashville
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 32 of 35 shots in Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Predators. The fourth goal was an empty-netter with 1:20 left in the third period.
Comrie started in the second half of Winnipeg's back-to-back set, and he had a disappointing performance against one of the lowest-scoring offenses in the league en route to a 4-1 defeat. Comrie has dropped his last two starts while stopping 77 of 85 shots. He should return to his regular backup role behind Connor Hellebuyck when the Jets take on the Wild on Monday.

Rotowire
Comrie will start on the road versus the Predators on Saturday, Brooks Bratten of the Predators' official site reports.
Connor Hellebuyck had a 17-save performance in Friday's win over the Penguins, but that light workload won't lead to him starting both halves of a back-to-back. Comrie will instead draw in for the first time since Nov. 14. The 29-year-old has gone 3-1-0 with a 2.77 GAA and a .909 save percentage over his first four appearances this season. The Predators enter this game in last place with 2.30 goals per game this season.

Jets' Eric Comrie: Earns third win
Rotowire
Comrie stopped 20 of 22 shots in Friday's 6-2 win over the Blue Jackets.
