  "account": "The Winnipeg Jets have made five additional cuts ahead of their pre-season finale, bringing them closer to their opening night roster. The team placed four players on waivers to potentially loan them to the AHL’s Manitoba Moose, while another player was directly assigned to their top farm club. Defenceman Isaak Phillips, forwards Nikita Chibrikov, Parker Ford, and Noah Gregor were placed on waivers, with goalies Thomas Milic sent directly to the Moose. After these moves, the Jets are left with 26 healthy players in training camp, comprising 15 forwards, nine defencemen, and two goalies. To meet the 23-man limit by Monday, the Jets need to make only three more cuts.",
  "summary": "Isaak Phillips, Nikita Chibrikov, Parker Ford, and Noah Gregor were all placed on waivers by the Jets on Friday.",
