Latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news.

Note:  The Jets/Devils game was postponed last night due to severe weather so the Jets took the day off they had scheduled for today.  So now they will practice today in Jersey as they get ready to face off against the Islanders in Brooklyn on Thursday night.  Update:  The Jets practiced at the Devils facility and we heard from Marko Dano, Jacob Trouba, Adam Lowry and coach Maurice.
