Morning skate began with Jets prospects Daniel Torgersson (2020 2nd) and Nikita Chibrikov (2021 2nd) warming up Oskari Salminen ahead of the formal portional of skate getting underway.

Everyone was present and accounted for (which is likely good news if you thought Jets may need someone for 27).

It looks like the Moose lines will be as follows for tonight’s home opener:

Malott-Lambert-AJF
Toninato – Lucius – Chibrikov
Torgersson – Zhilkin – Ford
Viel – Suess – Reichel

But positionally that may be off as there was plenty of movement.

Didn’t catch D pairs.

Puck drop is at 7 PM at Canada Life.

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.
