Note: The Jets pulled off their third straight win last night defeating the Hurricanes 2-1 to kick start a three-game home stand. The team was originally scheduled to practice today but have subsequently cancelled so we won’t get an update on Mathieu Perreault and Dmitry Kulikov who both left the game early until Monday at the earliest.
Note II: The Moose are back in business today as they look for revenge this afternoon against the Monsters who beat them on Friday night in the home opener. Puck drops at 2 pm at Bell MTS Place.
