Note: Quite a night in San Jose last night as the Jets and Sharks played a wild one at SAP Center. Thanks to 41 saves from Connor Hellebuyck as well as a Nikolaj Ehlers hat trick Winnipeg won it 5-3 and will complete the pre-Christmas road trip on Saturday in British Columbia against the Canucks.  Today they were scheduled to practice at UBC at 1 pm PT but have cancelled it. No media availability today.

Note II:  The Moose are done another week of practice and will have a chance to take on division rival Grand Rapids in a pair of games this weekend at Bell MTS Place to close out the pre-Christmas portion of their season.  It will be the final two games to see Manitoba in the white uniforms as they will switch to the dark uniforms following the Christmas break (starting with the final two games of this six-game home stand next weekend).  Puck drop is at 7 pm and we will have our usual coverage on site.

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.
