Note II: The Moose have an afternoon contest today at the MTS Centre as they seek revenge for a thrashing they took Thursday night against the Toronto Marlies. Puck drops at 2 pm.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press: What sparked the Jets against Carolina? A players-only meeting. (Paywall). Clearly the fans aren’t the only ones who are fed up.

Winnipeg Sun: Auston in city limits? Some were talking playoffs but the reality is much more likely a top draft pick. There has been plenty of tank talk for quite some time as some dream of what it would mean to have a top pick in the fold.
Winnipeg Sun: Get ready for trade talk to heat up, Jets fans. Plenty of uncertainty remains as that trade deadline gets closer and closer.

Prospect news:
USCHO: Michigan duo of Motte, Connor garner monthly HCA honors. If the above Jets news makes you sad as a fan the continued success of the Jets 2015 1st round pick can only make you happy. He also picked up an assist last night in a 3-2 Wolverines loss to the rival Spartans which gives him 43 points in 24 games (tied for 1st in the entire NCAA and he’s played three less games then his co-leader).
