Note: Yesterday saw the first scrimmage of training camp as folks attending Fan Fest got to see the Jets in action on Saturday morning. Following skate we heard from Vlad Namestnikov (watch here), Colby Barlow (watch here) and head coach Scott Arniel (watch here). You can check out the full observations from day 3 here.
Note II: It has been four months since there was a Jets game day but that ends today as they will kick off their first exhibition game against the Wild in Winnipeg. Here is the lineup with the projected lines which could see two Manitobans making their Jets debut. Puck drop is at 4 PM.
