Note: The Jets are back in action today following the Christmas break and they will face a tough test when they welcome the defending Stanley Cup champion St. Louis Blues to town.  Morning skate gets underway at 10:30 AM so be sure to check back for our pre-game report to find out the latest news and audio.  Puck drop is at 7 pm.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun:  Big Matchup and Five Keys to the Game Scott’s big matchup is Patrik Laine vs the Blues.  His five keys include: 1) Rebound. 2) Central success. 3) Keep it close. 4) Brutal PK. 5) Helle Help.

Winnipeg Sun:  When the math hasn’t added up, Hellebuyck has had the answer. Can that continue If the Jets want playoffs to be an option then they had best hope that Hellebuyck keeps his A+ play going.

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.
