Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news.

Note:  The Jets dropped a tough one 3-2 last night to the Capitals with 30 seconds to go in the 3rd period.  Many fans were preparing themselves for OT when the puck crossed the line.  The Jets will be at the MTS IcePlex today to chat with the media before they leave for Washington for a re-match with the Capitals on Thursday night.

Note II:  The Moose will practice for a third day in a row.  They may be short a player depending on the prognosis of Jets winger Shawn Matthias who was forced to leave Tuesday’s game in the 1st period.  If the Jets make a recall my guess is Andrew Copp will be the one getting the call to join Winnipeg on their three game road trip.
