Note: The Jets wrapped up their three-game homestand last night when their comeback fell short after they dropped a 4-3 decision to the Senators in OT. Today they are off. They hit the ice again tomorrow at 11 AM out at the IcePlex.
Note II: The Moose will hope to keep the good times rolling at Bell MTS Place as they continue to ride a hot streak at home which hit 12 games (11-0-0-1) with their 3-2 win over the Wolves which has launched them back into the playoff mix. They take on a Milwaukee team that sits one point ahead of Manitoba in the standings so there will be plenty on the line when these two teams battle it out at 2 pm.
