Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  The Jets are back in San Jose today as they look to get revenge for a 4-0 loss to these Sharks back in November, although the Jets did win 4-1 in Winnipeg earlier this month.  The team recalled Brendan Lemieux to add some insurance and provide them with an extra forward for the two-game road trip.  The Jets hit the ice for their “morning skate” at 11:30 PST (which is 1:30 pm CST) and the Winnipeg Jets pre-game report will have you up to date.  You can also stay tuned via Twitter | Facebook | Instagram.
