Note II:  Much like they did last week ahead of the game against the Avalanche the Jets announced a bunch of moves today including Paul Stastny going into covid protocol, Cole Perfetti being reassigned to the Jets from the taxi squad and three players being reassigned to the Moose to the taxi squad. That was before skate. After morning skate concluded they announced Eric Comrie and Brenden Dillon had entered protocol along with goalie coach Wade Flaherty.

Note III: As well be sure to join Drew, Ez and I for the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show once the final buzzer sounds.
