Note: The Jets/Devils game was postponed last night due to severe weather so the Jets took the day off they had scheduled for today. So now they will practice today in Jersey as they get ready to face off against the Islanders in Brooklyn on Thursday night. Update: The Jets practiced at the Devils facility and we heard from Marko Dano, Jacob Trouba, Adam Lowry and coach Maurice. Listen here.
Note II: The Moose are in a tailspin right now as they dropped their fifth straight game last night, losing 6-3 to the Toronto Marlies. The team will take a day off today before returning to the ice on Thursday to practice for a pair of games on Friday and Saturday against Rockford. All eyes will be on the Moose on Thursday as to the status of Brendan Lemieux who left the game in the 2nd period of last night’s game.
