Note: The Jets split the two games on the road with a 5-1 win on Thursday followed by last night’s penalty filled affair which saw that score from the first game get reversed against the Jets as the Stars took it 5-1 in Dallas last night.
Note II: The Moose dropped their season opener on Friday night in Iowa against central division rival Wild and will look for some revenge this afternoon when the puck drops at 3 pm in Des Moines. Will be interesting to see what is the status of Jansen Harkins who left the game at the end of the 2nd period after he took a puck to the side of his face.
