Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

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.
