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:  On Friday we learned from Jets bench boss that Nikolaj Ehlers was “probable” following Winnipeg’s optional practice out at the IcePlex.  The speedy winger isn’t likely to skate today in St. Louis so we won’t likely know his official status until pre-game warm up skate.  This morning the Jets are scheduled for their morning skate at 10:30 AM so be sure to check the pre-game report for the latest news and audio.  Puck drop is at 6 pm, and as always, check back for our post-game recap with audio from both the Jets and Blues’ dressing rooms and coaches’ press conferences.

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