Note: The Jets split their pair of games this weekend with the 3-2 comeback win in OT on Saturday already a distant memory following last night’s 7-2 thrashing at the hands of the Penguins. The Jets are off today following their second back-to-back of the season and will be on the ice once again on Tuesday as they face off against the Coyotes.
Note II: It wasn’t a banner weekend for pro hockey as the Jets AHL squad found themselves swept at the hands of the Marlies who beat them 3-2 on Friday and then 4-0 on Saturday. The team is set to practice at 11 am as they get ready to face the Iowa Wild here next weekend.
