Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  The Jets practiced on Sunday and although the lines and D pairs were how they were in the last game against the Leafs they could change according to head coach Paul Maurice. Which means all eyes will be on skate this morning so stay tuned for the pre-game report to see if there will be any line changes ahead of their game with the Senators as well as for the media availability with players and coach Paul Maurice. Puck drop is at 6 PM CDT. Join us afterwards for our post-game show here (be sure to smash that like/subscribe button).

Note II:  The Moose took Sunday off and are back on the ice today for practice as they also get ready for a series against the Senators (from Belleville who are also playing this season in Ottawa).
