Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  The Jets hit the ice as they try to get back on track following a tough 2-1 defeat by central division rival Colorado last night in Winnipeg.  The Jets will have a few days of practice before reuniting with the Predators on Thursday, one week after they last played at MTS Centre.

Note II:  The Moose are in California for six games.  The team will practice in Ontario today as they get ready for a Wednesday night game against the Reign.  We will have a post later today on site about a couple of the California based players on the Moose and what it means to them to get to play in front of friends and family.
