Note: The Jets won’t have anytime to rest following their 3-0 win over the Ducks last night in Anaheim as they are in Vegas today to take on the Golden Knights to conclude this three-game road trip. While there will not be a morning skate we will still have a pre-game report. Puck drop is at 9 pm.
Note II: The Moose had Wednesday off following the completion of their six-game homestand which after going 4-1-1-0 put them within striking distance of the fourth and final playoff spot currently held by Rockford. Today they are practicing in Colorado ahead of tomorrow night’s game against the Eagles. This will prove to be a tough test as the Eagles are flying right now having gone 9-1-0-0 in their last 10 games.
Note III: Some Moose injury updates including C.J. Suess | Skyler McKenzie | Nic Kerdilies |
