Note: The Jets needed to pick up two points on Saturday but hard to win a hockey game when you don’t play a complete 60 minutes which is ultimately why they fell 4-2 to the Oilers. Today they are scheduled to practice at 11 AM before they head to Calgary to kick off four games on the road. Stay tuned for the Practice Report.
Note II: The Moose will finally get loose this afternoon finally after a week of practice as they welcome the Admirals to town which will kick off nine straight in Winnipeg. Puck drop is at 3 PM.
