Note: The Jets lost again last night. They will hit the ice at the MTS Centre for practice today as they get ready for a last game against the Coyotes on Tuesday night here in Winnipeg before the All Star break. We should get word about the status of Mathieu Perreault who left the game last night and didn’t return due to a lower body injury he sustained in the 1st period.
Note II: The Moose dropped their second straight game in as many days to the Stockton Heat. Last night they dropped the contest in OT. They now head south to Bakersfield to take on the Condors starting with a game on Tuesday and another on Friday.
