Note: The Jets are on holiday break until February 9th. Not sure how notable the news is but take it for what it is worth in that former Winnipeg forward (and 1st rounder from 2017) Kristian Vesalainen signed a one-year extension to remain in Finland with HIFK for the 2023-24 season.
Note II: The Moose will kick off the final pair of games before the All-Star break starting tonight in Milwaukee. Puck drop is at 7 PM CST.
Note III: The Ice are in Brandon tonight where they take on their provincial rival Wheat Kings. Puck drop is at 7 PM CST.
