Note: The Jets concluded their three-games homestand last night with a big comeback win against the Coyotes as they scored four unanswered to win it 4-2. Today they are scheduled to practice at 12 noon at Bell MTS Place before they take off for Edmonton to kick off three games on the road. Be sure to check back for the Practice Report for the latest news and audio.
Note II: The Moose were off on Monday after they concluded a four-game homestand which saw them go 3-1-0-0. They’ve still got an uphill climb to a playoff spot as they sit seven back of the fourth and final spot in the Central. They are scheduled to practice today out at the IcePlex. They will practice again on Wednesday before they head out for six games on the road.
