Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets had a critical game against the Senators last night which saw the home team come out flat and really fall apart in the 3rd period which ultimately cost them the game. Tonight they welcome back former Jets Patrik Laine, Jack Roslovic as well as their Columbus Blue Jackets teammates which includes assistant coach Pascal Vincent for another big game for Winnipeg. Puck drop is at 7 PM.

Note II: The Moose are back in action this evening as this seven game road trip grinds along. They are looking to rebound after their first regulation loss in almost a month but it won’t be easy tonight when they face the division leading Wolves in Chicago. Puck drop is at 7 PM.
