Note: The Jets pumped the visiting Panthers by a final score of 7-2 and will hold an availability today at 11 am in advance of the final game of this ten game road trip tomorrow night against the Kings.
Note II: How will you be spending your Louis Riel day? The Moose have an afternoon game (puck drop at 2 pm) as they welcome the Milwaukee Admirals to town in a game that will be filled with Superheros. I am joining Steve Schuster (who is filling in for play-by-play voice Mitch Peacock who is away at the 2018 Olympics in South Korea) in the broadcast booth to provide some colour analysis of the game.
