Notable:

Netminder Eric Comrie got a friendly Manitoba welcome back in his return (again) to Winnipeg.

Dancing Gabe is getting ready to celebrate his milestone 60th birthday at the Moose game on Sunday.

Jets went over 16 minutes without a shot on net from the 2nd period into the 3rd. That was sub-optimal.

Centre Adam Lowry left the game after getting hit from behind but returned.

Two goals by Winnipeg in the last five minutes of the game made this contest look a lot closer than it actually was.

Eric Comrie picks up his first win against his former team.
