Note: The Jets fell again last night as they dropped their third straight game on their final road trip of the season losing to the Rangers 3-0 although the game was closer than the score indicated. Not that there is much room left in moral victories. Today they are scheduled to practice in Carolina as they prepare to mercifully end the road portion of the 2021-22 season tomorrow night against the Hurricanes. Be sure to check back for the Practice Report.
Note II: The Moose lost Mikhail Berdin who was a surprise emergency recall last night for Connor Hellebuyck who was under the weather. Manitoba is scheduled to practice today as they continue to prep for their final regular season road trip which will be a quick trip this weekend to Rockford and Milwaukee.
Note III: The Ice also have a day of practice set as they prepare for game 1 of the 1st round which gets going on Friday here in Winnipeg.
