Note: About the only Jets news on Saturday was that Nikolaj Ehlers had three assists in Denmark’s 9-1 win over Kazakhstan at the World Championship in Finland.
Note II: The Moose practiced on Saturday as they prepared for this afternoon’s fifth and deciding game of their Central Division Semifinal against the Admirals. Fittingly this is the 17th meeting between these two teams who faced off 12 times during the regular season. Should be a dandy game at Canada Life which if you want to attend you can check out this promo code. Puck drop is at 2 PM.
Note III: The Ice will spend the week getting ready for their Eastern Conference Final against the Edmonton Oil Kings which will get underway in Winnipeg starting with game 1 on Friday at the Ice Cave.

Moose news:
Winnipeg Sun: No added pressure for Moose ahead of decisive Game 5. Lots of belief in each other on this team and they’ve been happy, for the most part, with how they’ve played through the first four games of the series. Expect them to leave it all out there this afternoon.
