Winnipeg Jets gameday

The Jets will have some revenge on their mind tonight in Chicago as they look to repay the Hawks for the 5-1 beat down they were handed back in Winnipeg on December 14th. This is the second of five meetings between the two teams this season although they will not face off against each other again until the middle of March. The Hawks are coming off a 2-1 defeat at the hands of the Jets opponent tomorrow, the Minnesota Wild. Morning Skate notes: The Jets are on the ice in Chicago and according to Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun neither Tobias Enstrom nor Tyler Myers are skating this morning but both are still expected to play tonight. Ken also indicates that Adam Lowry wasn't skating today.
