Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: This is day six since the NHL hit the pause button on the 2019-20 season.

Note II:  The NHL has provided a new directive for players on Monday morning saying they can return to their home cities but would need to self-quarantine which obviously means this season won’t be getting re-started anytime soon.

Note III:  Like the NHL the AHL has advised its teams that the indefinite suspension will not be lifted before May and is recommending that teams facilitate the return of AHL players to their primary residences.
