Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  The Jets didn’t play their best game last night and it showed as they fell to the Flyers 3-1 in Philly to kick off the post All-Star break on a flat note.  The good news for Winnipeg is they won’t have any time to reflect too much on the loss as they play tonight in Boston against the Bruins to wrap up this two-game road trip.  No morning skate but we’ll still have a pre-game report to set you up ahead of tonight’s 6 pm puck drop.

Note II:  The Moose remain on their AHL All-Star break until tomorrow and the team will resume practice on Thursday as they get set to conclude the second half of a six-game road trip which begins on Friday in a re-match with the Admirals in Milwaukee.

Note III:  The ownership of the Kootenay Ice are expected to announce that they are moving their WHL franchise to Winnipeg today.  Join the conversation on our Instagram page which has lots of folks chatting about having three hockey teams in Winnipeg.
