Note: Puck drop is at 6:30 pm CDT as the Jets go up against the Predators in Winnipeg. After the game, be sure to check out illegalcurve.com for all the post-game reaction.

Note II: We want you to be part of the conversation on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show once the final buzzer sounds.

Note III: Over in Milwaukee the Moose got loose this morning with a school day game and while they didn’t exactly start on time, thanks to Thomas Milic holding the fort, they survived and then thrived scoring six straight goals on their way to a 6-0 win which puts them three points up on the Wolves for the fifth and final playoff spot.

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.
