Note: The Jets ended the road trip with a 3-1 loss to the Capitals last night meaning they went .500 in the four games. Today they are off as they rest up for the three-game homestand which begins tomorrow night against the Sharks.

Note II: The Moose completed a huge series sweep of the IceHogs yesterday afternoon with the comeback OT win that saw Michael Spacek finish off a Mason Appleton rush to give Manitoba the win. It improved them to 29-26-3-2 on the season and 14-1-0-1 in last 16 games here in Winnipeg. The Moose are also off today but will be back on the ice on Tuesday as they get ready to go battle with the Texas Stars starting on Wednesday.

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.
