Note: The Jets kick off six straight games at home tonight with the Hurricanes who played and won last night in St. Paul. Carolina is one of the hottest teams in the NHL right now as they are off to a 4-0-1 which included them outshooting the Wild last night 57-23. Morning skate gets underway at 9:30 am (Let the pre-game report to get up to speed) and then puck drop is at 6 pm.

Note II: The Moose were outplayed last night and fell to 1-3 on the season after the Senators got a measure of revenge with a 6-2 win at Bell MTS Place. They will now have another week of practice as they prepare for a pair of games next weekend against the Rampage.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Five keys to Jets vs Hurricanes. Ken starts with his big matchup of Patrik Laine vs Sebastian Aho. His five keys include: 1) Show more discipline. 2) Light the lamp. 3) Homeward bound. 4) Beasts of East? 5) Beware of Hamilton.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets Snapshots. Includes: 1) Laine looks for more. 2) Brossoit stays patient. 3) Roster decision looming for Jets.

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets’ second line poised to take off. (Paywall). That’s a good thing as this team could use the run support.

Winnipeg Free Press: Brossoit waiting for his turn to tend the twine. (Paywall). The life of a backup netminder is one of waiting your turn.

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.
