Note: This is day 82 since the NHL hit the pause button on the 2019-20 season.
Note II: Today is the deadline for the Jets to sign a trio of defensive draft picks including Jacob Cederholm (2016 4th round), Declan Chisholm (2018 5th round) and Giovanni Vallati (2018 5th round). My guess is they will announce they’ve signed Chisholm to a three-year ELC. Stay tuned. Update: Jets have signed Chisholm to a three-year ELC.
Note III: For Jets fans who have questions about the local pro club or maybe NHL questions in general, Murat Ates and Ken Wiebe of The Athletic Winnipeg will be hosting a Q&A for their subscribers starting at 12 noon. Ask away here.

Global News: Blake Wheeler ‘heartbroken’ over racism in Minneapolis. A brutal situation down south and the Jets captain who is a born and bred Minnesotan had some words to say about what is happening in his home state and elsewhere in the United States.
Jets video:
TSN: Jets’ three goals in two minutes down Red Wings. On December 10, the Jets looked like they were going to need some third period heroics to get past the Red Wings, so Blake Wheeler, Andrew Copp and Patrik Laine all scored within two minutes to close out the second. Copp joins Sara Orlesky to relive the offensive explosion.
