Note: The Jets home dominance continued last night with their 4-3 win over the Coyotes in a game that wasn’t the prettiest of wins but improved the home record to 20-3-2 on the season and gives them an overall record of 32-13-9. This makes them 3-0-1 in four games of this ten game home stand. The Jets are scheduled to practice at 12 noon.
Note II: The Moose road points streak continued last night after they dropped a 3-2 shootout game to the Admirals in Milwaukee and are 5-0-0-1 on this nine game road trip. They are now 19-4-1-1 in 25 road games this season and have points in fourteen straight on the road (12-0-1-1). They will be back at it tonight in Grand Rapids with a 6 pm puck drop against the Griffins.

Winnipeg Free Press: Following early demotion, Petan’s patience pays off. (Paywall). In his first NHL action since October 20th he scored a big goal and set up a number of chances for his linemates.
Winnipeg Free Press: Winning ugly against Arizona. (Paywall). It wasn’t a pretty win but the two points go in the standings banks regardless of how it looked. Mike breaks it all down.
The Players Tribune: Winnipeg is Good. Well if Patrik Laine wasn’t already one of the most popular players on the team in this city I suspect this will put him over the top. Couple of things jumped out at me reading this: 1) Love how his assessment of the Jets was based on their NHL rating and 2) His assessment of the people in Winnipeg shows a fairly clear understanding of folks here in Manitoba.
