TSN:  Slater a game time decisionHe was out on the ice at practice today but coach Noel wouldn’t reveal if he would be a player tonight.  The Jets are going to need someone to step up in the faceoff circle if Slater isn’t a go for tonight.  If he doesn’t play the lines were a bit jumbled today at practice, with only the Wellwood, Antropov and Ladd line remaining consistent.

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.
