Note: The Jets lost in Philadelphia yesterday afternoon 2-1 which put an end to their four game win streak. Despite the loss Patrik Laine continued his hot play picking up his 40th goal of the season.

Note II: The Moose won a big game last night in Chicago as they beat the Wolves 2-1 to go six points up in the standings. The road trip continues as they wrap up their 17th straight game against the Central division with a 3 pm afternoon game against the Wild in Iowa. This is the third game of their seven game road trip.

TSN: Laine has a shot at 50 goals. Patrik Laine’s release is one of his well-known attributes but as Craig Button explains, his ability to read the play and give himself enough space to take advantage of his release is what is fueling his success.

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.
