Note: The Jets practiced on Wednesday and while they were without a few key contributors it sounds like the Jets bench boss didn’t have any significant concerns. We will have to see what morning skate at 10:30 AM brings as the seven-game homestand continues tonight against the Sharks. Be sure to check back for the pre-game report for the latest news and interviews.
Note II: The Moose won it 4-3 in OT last night as they outshot the Admirals 60-16 (that’s insane) in 64 minutes and 21 seconds of hockey in Milwaukee. Jets 2017 5th rounder Leon Gawanke had two goals and an assist (including the GWG see here) along with 11 shots on net (dear mama). Solid OT goal call by Daniel Fink. They are travelling today to Grand Rapids where they will finish the six game road trip.
Note III: The deadline has now passed for you to order you IC Gear from the Illegal Curve Locker Room in order to have your gear ready by the end of November however there is no time like the present to order your merch for the end of December. Check out and purchase all your IC branded shirts, hats, hoodies and more.

While Trouba/Morrissey was a solid pairing for the Jets the addition of Pionk who has continued his rise each year he’s been with Winnipeg as well as having Ville Heinola waiting in the wings in the AHL, has really paid off for a team that knew it couldn’t keep their 2012 1st rounder.
