Note: We learned on Thursday after practice that the Jets D had taken another hit when Jets coach Paul Maurice indicated that Carl Dahlstrom would be out a minimum of six weeks with a broken bone in his hand. There hasn’t yet been a recall from the Moose (Update: Cam Schilling was recalled). The Jets will have a morning skate today at Bell MTS Place as they get set to welcome the Lightning who played and lost last night to the Wild. Be sure to check back for the pre-game report for the latest news and audio. Puck drop is at 7 pm.
Note II: The Moose spent their Thursday at Siloam Mission helping out some of the less fortunate citizens of Winnipeg. Today they will hit the ice at 11 AM as they prepare for a pair of afternoon games this weekend here in the city against Laval.
