Note: The Jets concluded the pre-break portion of their schedule with a 4-2 loss in Dallas last night although they remain in top spot in the Central Division. They are won’t be back in action until January 28th when they take on the Flyers to kick off a two-game road trip our East.
Note II: The Moose have finally seemed to have found a winning formula which takes one part Eric Comrie, another part balanced scoring and add in some coaching as they are on their hottest run of the season. After yesterday’s afternoon’s 4-1 win over the Rampage they are now 5-0-0-1 in last six games and are 7-2-0-1 in last ten games since Christmas break.
