Winnipeg Jets Practice Report

The Jets are coming off a very disappointing loss on Saturday night which saw them give up four goals in the 3rd to lose 5-1.

With no reinforcements expected to be coming from the trio of injured defenders (Pionk, Fleury and Miller) the team will likely recall Isaak Phillips up from the Moose.

Recall news:

Isaak Phillips, after helping the Moose earn a split with the AHL-leading Griffins, will indeed be heading on the road with the Jets as he was listed back on the roster this morning. Of note he played right side on Sunday for first time this season.

Skate news:

Everyone is present and accounted for this morning. Of note Mark Scheifele did shave his moustache.
