Note: The Jets just didn’t have it going on Saturday night from top to bottom and this wasn’t helped by the fact that neither did their goaltender which all added up to a 4-2 loss to the Flames to halt the three game win streak for Winnipeg. Today the team is off as they continue to use these days to rest and recover. They conclude their seven-game road trip tomorrow night against the Flames.

Note II: The Moose and Rocket have each won a game in this four-game series with game three going this afternoon at 2 PM.

Jets news:

Sportsnet: Stanley gets well-earned milestone moment as Jets stumble vs. Flames. Ken wrote about Stanley’s milestone moment from the game last night in Calgary.

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets’ 3-game win streak ends with 4-2 loss to Flames. (Paywall). Jeff provides you with his thoughts following the game last night in Calgary.

Winnipeg Sun: Flames get Sutter’s message, take advantage of Brossoit’s off night to beat Jets. While the Jets didn’t have anything going for them on Saturday night it was 100% certain that the Flames were the far more desperate team in need of two points.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
