Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  The Jets were down by a pair of goals last night after 20 minutes in their one game road trip to Chicago but scored twice in regulation and added a Mark Scheifele goal in OT to pick up the win and improve to 4-2-0 on the season.  They return home to face a Penguins team that beat the Wild last night in St. Paul 7-4.  Neither team will have a morning skate but stick around for the pre-game report which will set up the action.  Puck drop is at 6 pm.

Note II:  The Moose got swept by the Marlies losing on Saturday afternoon by a score of 4-0.  They lost Sami Niku, who took warm up skate prior to puck drop, but was made a late scratch by his coach.  After the game Pascal Vincent indicated that it was due to a lower-body injury and that it wasn’t serious.
