Note:  The Jets took it on the chin after a decent 1st period last night against the Canuck found them down 2-1 and they were unable to generate anything in periods 2 and 3 which ultimately saw them fall 4-1 to Vancouver. Today they have a practice scheduled for 1 PM.  Stay tuned for the Practice Report.

Note II:  The Moose are off today.  They’ll resume training camp on Monday.
