Note:  The Jets will play the ninth game of this ten game home stand tonight against the Florida Panthers who flew into town late last night after handing it to the Flames by a 6-3 score in Calgary on Saturday night.  The Jets had a busy practice on Saturday which provided some health updates and they will hit the ice at 10:30 am for morning skate.  Puck drop is at 7 pm.  Stay tuned throughout the day for any and all Jets news and updates via  Twitter | Facebook | Instagram.

Note II:  The Moose lost 5-0 last night in a game that was dominated from start to finish by the visitors.  The team is scheduled to practice today at 12 noon at the IcePlex ahead of a Monday afternoon game against the Admirals.
