Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  The Jets picked up an important 6-3 win over the Golden Knights last night in Vegas as the return of Nikolaj Ehlers seemed to spark the team. Today they are scheduled to practice in Arizona as they look to complete this three-game road trip with a game against the Coyotes on Sunday.  Stay tuned for the Practice Report later this afternoon.

Note II:  The Moose road trip hasn’t gotten off to a very good start as they have now lost back-to-back games, first in Toronto and now last night in Laval as the Rocket beat Manitoba 3-0.  In order to be a playoff team the Moose are gonna have to start getting some wins and they will have a chance at revenge this afternoon at 2 pm CT.

Note III:  Tune in for three hours of Winnipeg Jets and NHL hockey talk ahead of Monday’s NHL Trade Deadline on TSN 1290 Winnipeg starting at 9 am.  You can listen here.
