Note: The Jets took on the red-hot Lightning last night in Tampa which looked like an even match to start but a hockey game lasts 60 (or more) minutes and by the end the home team had outpaced the visitors en route to a 4-1 victory. Today, they are scheduled to practice in Fort Lauderdale as they get set for tomorrow’s afternoon matinee against the Panthers in Sunrise. Check back for the Practice Report.
Note II: The Moose were off on Thursday after a few days of practice plus an appearance at a Backyard Rink for one lucky Manitoban. They will also hit the ice for practice as they prepare to face the IceHogs in a pair of weekend matinees.
Note III: Last night, Jets prospect Kieron Walton (2024 6th) went up against his old club for the first time and picked up his seventh game-winning goal which moved him into a tie for top spot in the OHL points race.
Jets news:
Winnipeg Sun: ‘A compete thing,’ Jets lose 4-1 to the Lightning. That was their 15th game of the month and in the 14 prior contests they had scored first 12 times. Given their opponent last night was one of those games it would have been necessary to score first.
