Note: The Jets and Hawks did battle on Sunday night and while it didn’t begin as the home side would have liked they came back to pick up a 5-2 win and pick up an important two points. They currently sit in the first wild card spot in the Western Conference four points back of Dallas who are third in the central although their divisional rivals from Texas have two games in hand. The Jets are off today. They’ll be back on the ice on Tuesday when they welcome Jacob Trouba, Brendan Lemieux and the New York Rangers to town.
Note II: The Moose practiced on Sunday and will again this morning at the IcePlex at 11 AM as they get ready to face the IceHogs on Wednesday night in a critical central division matchup.

With the way the game began just 15 seconds into the contest and then about 10 minutes later it wasn’t looking good for the local NHL squad but this team showed some of that 2017-18 fire. Mike recaps the action.
