We already knew three of the Jets regular season games for the upcoming 2019-20 season and now we know the remaining 79 games as the NHL has now released the full 82 game schedule.
Jets fans may be circling February 11th as that is when the city will see the return of Jacob Trouba and Brendan Lemieux to Winnipeg.
Believe the team will play 10 back to back sets (2 are home-home, 1 road-home and 7 are road-road).
Jets Release:
