Manitoba Moose

Note: The Jets were trying to look ahead on Wednesday at practice as they attempted to move past another blown 3rd period lead on Tuesday as they set their sights on the Chicago Blackhawks whom they play tonight at Bell MTS Place to conclude a two game series at home. While Head Coach Paul Maurice indicated that he expects Dustin Byfuglien and Joe Morrow to be players tonight the team recalled Cameron Schilling from the Moose and placed Andrew Copp on IR. Check out the Winnipeg Jets pre-game report. Note II: The Moose kicked off their California road trip with an impressive 5-1 win over the Gulls in San Diego. Impressive because they did it with a number of key players missing from the lineup including Cam Schilling/Sami Niku/Mason Appleton (recalled to the Jets) as well as Tucker Poolman/Luke Green (injury). Eric Comrie was fantastic making 31 saves and only losing the shutout bid with 18 seconds left in the 3rd while Logan Shaw burnt his former team from earlier in this season scoring his first ever AHL hat trick (a natural one to boot). What makes Shaw's goals all the more interesting is that all three were power play goals (Manitoba went 3/4) and the entire tean hadn't scored on the PP in any road game this season (9 in total). The Moose are scheduled to practice today in San Diego as they get ready for the re-match tomorrow night.

The five keys to the game are: 1) Expect a surly bunch of Hawks. 2) Special teams. 3) Out of the gate. 4) No softies. 5) Time to finish. Winnipeg Sun: Hellebuyck’s 2016-17-level numbers a big reason for Jets' inconsistency. Don't think it can all be laid at the feet of the netminder but he hasn't looked as solid as he did last season. Winnipeg Sun: Byfuglien hit shows NHL erring on the side of winning. Paul looks at whether the right decision was made allowing 33 back into the game. Winnipeg Free Press: Jets looking for answers after blowing third-period leads. (Paywall). Considering how infrequently it occurred last season the numbers of times it has already happened this season is cause for concern. Winnipeg Free Press: Missed practice a precaution, Byfuglien likely playing today. (Paywall). The recall of Schilling is curious but perhaps it is no more than insurance considering the Moose are in California. Elite Prospects: On Patrik Laine’s unique goal scoring ability.
