Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  As you have likely noticed we’ve changed the website.  Please ensure you’ve cleared out your cache (ie. clear browsing data) to ensure that you are seeing it ‘refreshed’.  We hope you enjoy the changes to the site.

Note II:  After an optional practice on Monday the Jets will be looking to even the series tonight in St. Louis as they attempt to replicate the things they did well in game three on Sunday night.  With it being a later puck drop the morning skate is scheduled for 12 noon.  Be sure to check out the pre-game report for the latest news and audio.

Note III:  The Moose season concluded on Sunday and yesterday they held wrap up duties with the players being available to chat and then having their exit interviews.  Lots of pride from the players and coaching staff of the Jets AHL squad on what they were able to accomplish after going from dead last in the AHL at Christmas to just missing a playoff spot by two points.  We saw Eric Comrie get recalled up to the Jets for the playoffs and we may still see a player or two get that call as well although Tucker Poolman won’t be one for awhile as he is currently in a walking boot and told us he thinks he is still a few weeks away.
