Note: The Jets are now in Boston following the 5-2 loss last night in Philadelphia. They will hit the ice for a 1 pm practice (yes I uttered the Jets and practice in the same sentence) as they get ready for a Saturday night date with the Bruins in Beantown.
Note II: Tonight will be the fourth Moose game of the five they play on this road trip. They went 1-2 on the California leg of the journey and will get a chance to even things out when they play their first ever game in Tucson at 8:05 pm CT.
