Note: The Jets hit the ice for a practice in Winnipeg on Wednesday before they left for this quick two-game road trip out west. Most notably they will continue to be without Paul Stastny who didn't join the team on the road as he continues to recover from a friendly fire shot he took back on November 6th. Today they will conclude the home and home series with the Oilers as they look to build on their 5-1-1 homestand which included a 5-2 win over Edmonton. Morning skate for Winnipeg gets underway at 12:30 PM CT. Be sure to check back for the pre-game report for the latest news and interviews. Puck drop is at 8 PM. Note II: After a few days of practice the Moose will kick off a five-game homestand tonight at 7 PM with the first of three straight against the Admirals. Seems like there is a good chance that Jets 2017 2nd rounder Dylan Samberg, who was out with a high-ankle sprain since day 1 of training camp, will play his first game of the 2021-22 season.

Still doesn't make any sense why they would have dropped as significantly as they did. Then again do people actually care about "power rankings"?
