Your source for all the latest Jets and Moose news, video and audio.

Note: The Jets returned from Nevada on Sunday following a successful weekend which saw them win on Friday in San Jose and then Saturday in Las Vegas.  Today the team is scheduled to practice at 11 am at Bell MTS Place.  Be sure to check back for the Practice Report.

Note II:  On the Saturday “Headlines” segment on Hockey Night in Canada, Elliotte Friedman and Chris Johnston provided updates regarding the Dustin Byfuglien situation.

Note III:  The Moose needed to keep the good times rolling and that’s just what they did on Sunday when they bent but didn’t break against the Griffins finishing with a 7-4 win.  The D pairing of Sami Niku and Ville Heinola was dominant, Cam Schilling had a 500th AHL game to remember, Seth Griffith had a hat trick and Jansen Harkins had a weekend to remember.  The Moose are set to practice at 11 AM out at the IcePlex.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets like all-forward look in OT win over VegasWhen you’ve got high end talent available and since most teams are thinking offence anyways in OT it makes a lot of sense.
