Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  It was a less than ideal stop back home for the Jets who went 1-4-0 during the five games they played in Winnipeg including last night’s 3-2 regulation loss to the Kings which leaves them 5-6-0 on the season.  They have a few days of practice scheduled including today at 12 noon before they depart for Regina to take on the Flames in the Heritage Classic on Saturday.  Be sure to check back for the Practice Report to get fully up-to-date with the latest Jets news and audio.

Note II:  The Jets have claimed left shot defenceman Luca Sbisa off waivers.

Note III:  The Moose also have hit a bit of a skid sitting 1-5-0 on the season after being swept the last four games at home.  Today is their final day of practice as they get set to take off for a two-game road trip to Grand Rapids and Chicago this weekend.
