Note: The Jets split the two games on the road with a 5-1 win on Thursday followed by last night’s penalty filled affair which saw that score from the first game get reversed against the Jets as the Stars took it 5-1 in Dallas last night.

Note II:  The Moose dropped their season opener on Friday night in Iowa against central division rival Wild and will look for some revenge this afternoon when the puck drops at 3 pm in Des Moines.  Will be interesting to see what is the status of Jansen Harkins who left the game at the end of the 2nd period after he took a puck to the side of his face.

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.
