Game 21: Jets vs. Lightning projected lines

This isn’t last year’s Tampa Bay Lightning as they currently sit in the 11th spot in the Eastern Conference although it is worth noting that, in addition to winning three straight games, they’ve played a lot less games than the teams around them. The Jets sit sixth in the Western Conference and hope that the 4-3 win over the Panthers on Thursday will continue into today’s game.

AM Skate:

No skate this morning. Voice of the Jets on TSN 1290 Winnipeg Paul Edmonds confirmed that it will be the same lineup for the Jets with exception of Connor Hellebuyck back in net.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
