The Jets won the battle but may have lost the war when their top centre Mark Scheifele, was lost in the 2nd period of the game against the Oilers.  Today, Jets coach Paul Maurice indicated that his top centre will be out 6-8 weeks with an upper-body injury.  For now Wheeler moves to the middle with Perreault jumping up to the 2nd line.  Coach Maurice indicated that he wasn’t planning a recall from the Moose meaning he will allow Marko Dano or Shawn Matthias fill the spot on the 4th line.

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.
