Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  The Jets six days off ends today as the team gets back to the business of practicing in Philadelphia as they prepare to face a Flyers team on Monday night that are third last in the Eastern Conference although they have won three straight games.  The Practice Report will bring you up to speed with the latest news and audio from Philadelphia.

Note II:  After securing a point in nine straight games the Moose streak came to a screeching halt yesterday afternoon in Milwaukee as they lost 8-2 to the Admirals.  They fell to 19-19-3-2 on the season and will get a chance for revenge against the Admirals when the season resumes on Friday in Milwaukee.  The good news for the Moose is since they hit the “reset” button post-Christmas the team has gone 8-3-1-2. Still a long climb but the team is trending in the right direction.  The team is off right now for the AHL All-Star break except for Logan Shaw who is heading to Springfield, Massachusetts for the event.
