The Jets didn’t skate on Thursday choosing instead to conserve their energy as they get set to play some road games away from the province of Manitoba.  The game tomorrow night in Regina will be a home game for Winnipeg followed by road games in California and Nevada.

Skate news:

The Jets hit the ice after a bit of a delay in Regina.  According to Ken Wiebe of The Athletic Winnipeg below are the line rushes and D pairs.

Health news:

Ken also notes that Mason Appleton is wearing a walking boot and is in crutches.  For more on the third year pro who is expected to miss a month (or more) with a broken bone in his foot click here.
