Note: The Jets got off to a great start last night in Dallas but that is why you are obligated to play the full sixty minutes (or more) minutes. After the Mark Scheifele tally it was all relatively downhill from there and they dropped game 2 of the season by a final score of 4-1. The team are off today as they rest up for a tough back-to-back starting with the defending Stanley Cup Champs on Wednesday in Denver followed by a date against the Golden Knights on Thursday.
Note II: After a day off on Monday the Moose are scheduled to be back in action this morning for a practice at Canada Life Centre.
Note III: The Ice return to action this evening in Victoria as they take on the Royals looking to build on their 7-1-0 record. Puck drop is at 9 PM CDT.
Note IV: We gave away our first authentic Heritage Classic Jets jersey last night during the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show. But with eight more games in October, you’ve got eight more chances to win Jets jerseys, hats and shirts. You can enter here.
