Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets picked up a big win over the Sharks last night as they defeated San Jose 4-1 . The top line of Pierre-Luc Dubois, Kyle Connor and Evgeny Svechnikov continued their strong play, Nate Schmidt picked up his first goal as a Jet which turned out to be the game winner (in front of his family in Winnipeg for the first time) and the team didn’t let up after they built themselves a lead. Today they are scheduled to practice at 12 noon so stay tuned for the Practice Report.

Note II: The Moose are looking to build on the momentum they created on Wednesday in Milwaukee when they kick off the final weekend of this six-game road trip when they take on the Griffins in Grand Rapids. Puck drop is at 6 PM CT.

Folks around these parts have seen 26/55 as a solid pairing for Winnipeg and quite quickly this season we have seen 80/81 form a similar sort of dynamic. Ken has more on the pairing which is driving the bus for the Jets these days.
