Note: The Jets are on their Player break. We did take a look at the status of some of the injured Jets players and when they are projected to return.

Note II: The Moose are on their AHL All-Star break with the exception of Jansen Harkins. Harkins was assigned by the Jets down to Manitoba to take part in the festivities over in Ontario, California. As a result of this move the team announced they had recalled Cam Schilling in order to remain CBA roster compliant. Good deal for the veteran to receive NHL money while on the AHL All-Star break.

Jets news:

The Athletic Winnipeg: Why the Jets should be sellers at this year’s trade deadline. (Paywall). Hard to argue with Murat. While it won’t be easy to sell a lost season to fans or even members of the club it is likely best for the long-term health of the franchise.

Jets audio:

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.
