Note: The Jets practiced in Montreal on Friday as they got ready for tonight’s re-match with the Habs. Morning skate is at 10:30 AM CST so be sure to check out the pre-game report. Puck drop is at 6 PM CST.
Note II: The Moose ended their losing streak last night with a 3-1 win over the (Belleville) Senators in Ottawa. David Gustafsson was back in action although Kristian Veslainen didn’t play and was listed as day-to-day. On Friday the Jets also reassigned Eric Comrie from the taxi squad to the Moose which will allow him to get back into shape after spending 28 of the last 34 days in quarantine. Manitoba will conclude their eight-game road trip this afternoon in a re-match against the Senators.

Jets news:
The Athletic Winnipeg: Nine potential trade targets for the Jets ahead of the 2021 deadline. (Paywall). One of those trade targets was a player I thought the Jets could have gotten as part of their blockbuster deal with Columbus earlier this season.
Winnipeg Sun: Expected “hogwash?” Different views on analytics within Jets organization. Another good read from Scott who really deserves some sort of award for being able to splice his hockey and covid coverage.
Winnipeg Sun: Perreault hasn’t turned back the clock, he’s just doing what he’s always done. Number 85 is the type of player that all teams would want as his engine never seems to shut off.

Sportnset: Why a Mattias Ekholm trade would make sense for Jets. Lots of buzz right now about the Swedish Dman being available but as Ken writes it wouldn’t come without a cost.
