Evander Kane missed practice this morning as a result of a lingering issue so the team had him see the physician. The Jets just announced that they have placed him on IR retroactive to February 2nd.  The team recalled Patrice Cormier from the St. John’s IceCaps.

If you missed any of the insanity from today in which it was revealed that Kane and Byfuglien had an altercation of some variety we covered it here.

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.
