Nikita Chibrikov Recovering From Core-Muscle Surgery
Winnipeg Jets right wing Nikita Chibrikov had core muscle surgery last week and will be sidelined 6-8 weeks, the team announced. The 23-year-old Russian had a disappointing NHL season in 2025-26, failing to score a point in 11 outings. His performance in the minors was also far from impressive, as Chibrikov finished with 16 points (six goals, 10 assists) in 53 AHL games with the Manitoba Moose. Overall, Chibrikov has made 16 NHL appearances, recording three goals and four points. For a second-round pick, his start to his career has been underwhelming, to say the least.
