Note: The Jets wrapped up the 2018 home schedule with a 3-1 loss to division rival Minnesota yesterday afternoon at Bell MTS Place. The bigger loss however may be Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien who left the game in the 3rd period. We expect an update on his status today after the Jets practice at the IcePlex at 11 am before they head to Edmonton. Be sure to check the Jets Practice Report on here for the latest news and audio including any updates on Byfuglien’s status.

Note II: The Moose are back in action today after having a week off. They will kick off the post-Christmas portion of their schedule with a game this afternoon against the Colorado Eagles as the AHL’s newest team visits Winnipeg for the first time.

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.
