Note: The Jets and Oilers played a very entertaining hockey game last night which was ultimately won by Edmonton in the shootout. No rest for Winnipeg as they are in Vancouver today for a game against the Canucks to wrap up this quick two games in two days road trip. Puck drop is at 9 PM CT.
Note II: The Moose kicked off their five-game homestand last night with an impressive 6-2 win over the Admirals. Lots of prospect news as 2020 1st rounder Cole Perfetti scored his fourth goal of the season, 2019 1st rounder Ville Heinola didn’t score on this play but it is worth checking out, 2018 2nd rounder David Gustafsson scored two goals (here & here). These two teams will be back in action tonight at 7 PM.
