Note: The Jets were off on Sunday after they completed a successful road trip which saw them bring home three of four points and has them on a points streak of three straight against central division opponents. They are gonna have to ensure they keep that going when they welcome the Hawks to town tonight to kick off four straight in Winnipeg. Morning skate gets underway at 1o:30 AM CST so check back for our pre-game report to get the full 411 ahead of the game.
