Note:  The Jets looked they were cruising as they built up a 2-0 lead over the Flames only to have to force a comeback late in the 3rd to send the game to extra time which they ultimately lost in a shootout. No time to cry over the lost point for Winnipeg as these two teams are back in action tonight.  Stay tuned for the pre-game report in advance of the 7 pm puck drop.

Note II:  Another day of training camp for the Manitoba Moose out at the IcePlex this afternoon as they continue to work towards a regular season which still has not been announced by the AHL. Update:  The Moose got a roster boost with two players joining today’s skate.
