Note:  The Jets hit the ice for their first practice in awhile on Tuesday as they prepared for their three-game California road trip.  Following the skate at IcePlex coach Paul Maurice provided health updates on Bryan Little and Nathan Beaulieu.  It all starts tonight in San Jose where the Jets will hope look to tame the Sharks.  Optional skate/media availability is at 12:30 PM CT.  Check back for our pre-game report.

Note II:  After winning sevens straight games the Moose have hit a bit of a slide as they have lost their last two games on this seven-game road trip.  It won’t get any easier tonight when they take on the best team in the AHL at 7 pm in Milwaukee.  The Admirals have gone 10-0-0-0 in their last ten so it will take a big effort from Manitoba to arrest their losing streak at two games.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
