Note: The Jets were finally able to kill the losing streak on the strength of a 42 save shutout by Connor Hellebuyck as Winnipeg splits the home and home with the Predators. The team will practice at the MTS Centre today as they get ready to face the New Jersey Devils at home on Tuesday night.
Note II: The Moose also won yesterday as they pulled off their second win in a row on the road less than 24 hours after a win in Wisconsin over the Admirals. Yesterday, on the strength of a Dan DeSalvo goal (his fifth), Jack Roslovic winner (his fifth) and Ondrej Pavelec won in his 100th AHL game with a 2-1 win over the Wolves. They will now practice the next couple of days before finishing the road trip against the IceHogs in Rockford on Wednesday.
