Note:  After a four day layoff the Jets hit the ice for a big game against the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight.  Puck drops at 7 pm at the MTS Centre as Winnipeg looks to rebound from the 4-2 loss last Sunday to the Blues.  We will be covering the game and as always stay tuned to illegalcurve.com and on social media including Twitter | Facebook | Instagram for pre and post game news.
