Note: The Jets had the day off on Sunday but are back in business today with an 11 am practice at the IcePlex as they prepare for the home opener tomorrow night against the Kings.
Note II: The Moose were looking for revenge after Iowa took the season opener on Friday by a score of 4-1 but instead Manitoba was walloped on Sunday in the re-match 8-1 in Iowa. That puts them at 0-2 to start the season with just two goals for and 12 goals against. This Moose team looks like a squad that didn’t play any pre-season games. They have the day off today before resuming practice tomorrow as they prepare for the home opener on Friday.
