Note: The Jets took Saturday off as they look to put a stop to the six-game losing streak. Today they are scheduled to practice in Ottawa ahead of tomorrow’s game against the Senators. Stay tuned for the Practice Report.

Note II: The Moose are also slated to practice today as they continue to prepare for the final road trip of the 2021 campaign.

Jets news:

Sportsnet: Jets’ response to extended slump will prove what they’re made of. Ken with a Sunday column on how important it will be to see a response from this Jets club mired in their longest losing streak in some time.

The Athletic Winnipeg: Murat’s Mailbag. (Paywall). You had questions ranging from a coaching change, to catering to the leadership core, trading for a top Dman and more and Murat did his best to answer the question posed to him.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets playing down panic as fires rage around them. If you watch the Illegal Curve Hockey Show there is often a fire raging above my head and that has seemed appropriate given the situation surrounding the local NHL club. Scott has more in his off day column.

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.
