Zhilkin was loaned to AHL Manitoba on Friday.
Zhilkin spent just over two weeks with the Jets but appeared in only four games during that time, recording no points, four blocked shots, three hits and a plus-2 rating while averaging 8:14 of ice time. He should have more consistent opportunities to garner playing time with the Moose.

Zhilkin scored two goals in AHL Manitoba's 5-2 win over Rockford on Saturday.
Zhilkin was a bigger factor on offense earlier in the year, but he had gone 11 games without a goal, adding just two helpers in that span. For the season, he has four goals and seven points across 15 games. The 21-year-old forward has still made a noticeable improvement compared to last year, when he was limited to 10 points in 53 regular-season outings.

Jets' Danny Zhilkin: Opens AHL campaign with two points
Rotowire
Zhilkin scored a goal on three shots and added an assist in AHL Manitoba's 4-1 win over Laval on Friday.
Zhilkin has yet to display much of a scoring touch in the AHL, producing just 17 points in 97 regular-season outings over his first two campaigns. However, the 21-year-old Russian has been a bit young for the league in those years. If he can stay healthy, he may be able to get into more of a groove in 2025-26.
