The Jets are coming off a disappointing 3-1 loss to the Flames which instead of delivering a knockout blow to Calgary allowed their western Canadian rival to tie them with 89 points (Winnipeg has a game in hand and holds the tiebreaker).
Skate news:
As per Murat Ates of The Athletic Winnipeg it was a sparsely attended optional skate with just the guys from the fourth line and the healthy scratches taking part.
