Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Your source for all the latest Jets and Moose news, video and audio.

Note: The Jets road trip continued last night in Ottawa with the visitors building an early lead only to ultimately falling to the home side 4-2 which halted their modest win streak at three games.  The Jets are scheduled to practice today at 12:30 PM CDT so stay tuned for the Practice Report.

Note II:  Folks were hoping that Trade Deadline Day on Monday would be a busy one but aside from the addition of depth defenceman Jordie Benn it was a quiet one for Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff who spoke after the time expired.  Benn is set to talk today and we will have it covered. (Update: You can watch it here).

Note III: Unlike the parent club the Moose had no problems dispatching the Senators last night in Winnipeg to close out their four-game series.  It was a total team effort which saw Jets 2020 1st rounder Cole Perfetti score twice and add an assist in the 5-1 win. Manitoba is off for the next two days.
