Note: The Jets will try to forget the loss to the Oilers which was a poor way to end a good homestand as they try to take out their frustrations on a very good Blues team tonight in St. Louis. The Blues are second in the Western Conference and have been deadly at home going 11-1-2 at the Scottrade Center. Puck drops at 6 pm. Keep it locked to illegalcurve.com for pre and post game and on social media including via Twitter | Facebook | Instagram. Note II: The Moose have spent quite a bit of time on the road but will play their next four games at home where they are 5-2-1 in eight games. Today they face a Texas team that has put up an identical record in 19 games in the Star Wars themed contest with a 2 pm puck drop. Note III: But make sure you begin your morning with three hours of Winnipeg Jets, Manitoba Moose and NHL hockey talk on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show on TSN 1290 Winnipeg starting at 9 am. Guests include Ted Wyman (Winnipeg Sun), Marty Biron (TSN), Mark Lazerus (Chicago Sun Times) and Andy Strickland (Fox Sports Midwest). Jets news: Winnipeg Sun: Byfuglien front and centre as Jets try to spark PP. Had to like big #33's response to whether or not he liked being in front of the net on the PP "It was either that or go sit on the bench". Should the Jets continue to use 33 as net front presence? They currently sit 19th overall although if they keep 29 in his go to spot something tells me the Jets PP will be just fine.

As we saw with the game against the Oilers you cannot afford to spend time killing penalties and giving teams an opportunity to get into the game.

Leafs Lunch guest host Mark Roe and co-hosts Dave Poulin and Patrick O’Sullivan are joined by TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun to discuss Patrik Laine’s ability to find space for himself and how he appears to be fooling goalies with his shot. NHL.com: Patrik Laine's confidence good sign for Jets. He continues to show Jets fans the kind of sizzle and it bears mentioning that he is only 18. Tip of the iceberg really for what lies ahead.
