Note: Puck drop is at 9 PM CST as the Jets go up against the Ducks in Anaheim. After the game, be sure to check out illegalcurve.com for all the post-game reaction.

Note II: After the final buzzer we want you to be part of the conversation on on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show as we discuss and analyze the results of the game.

Note III: This was a late addition to the morning papers so in case you missed it here is how a pair of Jets prospects did last night. In the battle between Walton twins, Jets prospect Kieron (2024 6th) came out on the losing side against brother Conor as Peterborough lost to Windsor in a SO although he did finish with 1G 1A which puts him in a tie for 2nd overall in OHL points race. Over in the SHL, defenceman Alfons Freij (2024 2nd) is on quite the run scoring his fifth goal in the last four games.

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. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
