Note: The Jets are back on the ice following a Sunday off as they prepare for a two-game road trip later this week. With the team returning to the ice we should get a better idea about the overall health of the squad. More to come in today’s Winnipeg Jets Practice Report which will follow skate at 11 am.

Note II: The Moose are also back on the ice after traveling to Illinois on Sunday following a 4-2 win on Saturday night. Manitoba will also hit the ice at 11 am although they will, of course, be practicing at All State Arena in Chicago as they prep for the 11 am game on Wednesday against the Wolves.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
