Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets finally bid adieu to their four-game losing streak with a 3-2 OT win over the Sabres in western New York State. While it wasn’t the prettiest of victories it does get them back in the win column as they improved to 19-8-0 on the season. The Jets are scheduled to practice today in Chicago so check back for the Practice Report.

Note II: The Moose are in action this evening against the Senators as they kick off the final pair of games of this six-game homestand. While they did lose Brad Lambert to a recall earlier in the week the team got some good news on Thursday as they will have Jets prospects Chaz Lucius and Simon Lundmark back in the lineup. Puck drop is at 7 PM CST.

Note III: Normally I would have had this in the morning papers yesterday but I missed it as Jets 2023 1st rounder Colby Barlow had his best offensive output of the season with 2G 1A in Oshawa’s win. He had seven shots in the game and was named 1st Star. He’s up to 12G 7A for 19 points in 25 games. His pts/g creeping up, now 0.76.

Sportsnet: Adam Lowry scores in OT to lift Jets over Sabres and end four-game skid. It was a big time play by 2/3 of the Jets leadership group in overtime.
