Note:  The Jets quashed the Storm Surge in Carolina last night with a giant 8-1 thumping of the Hurricanes and are into Washington today where they will hold an optional practice for tomorrow’s game against the Capitals.  Check the Practice Report for the latest news and audio.

Note II:  The Moose ended three straight days of practice on Friday and today will kick off a critical six-game homestand starting with the IceHogs.  Manitoba sits four points back of Rockford (with two games in hand) who are tied with Texas and Milwaukee for the fourth and final playoff spot.  Puck drop is at 6 pm.

Note III:  Tune in for three hours of Winnipeg Jets and NHL hockey via the Illegal Curve Hockey Show on TSN 1290 Winnipeg starting at 9 am.  You can listen here.

Winnipeg Free Press: Defenceman Sami Niku unlikely to don Moose garb again. (Paywall).  Once he wasn’t paper transactioned it was clear the team wouldn’t be returning him to the AHL and yesterday coach Maurice spent quite a bit of time talking about the talented Finn.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
