Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets took Saturday off after back-to-back wins to start their three-game road trip which concludes this evening in Nevada against the Golden Knights.  Be sure check out the pre-game report when morning skate gets underway at 11:30 AM CDT followed by puck drop at 7 PM.

Note II:  Tonight, after the final buzzer sounds between the Jets and Golden Knights, we want you to be part of the conversation on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show as we discuss and analyze the latest game for the NHL team of Winnipeg. This season you’ll have a chance to win great schwag including authentic Jets jerseys, hats, etc after every single game (For a variety of ways to enter click here).

Note III: The Moose were feeling good heading into their Saturday matinee with the Wild which kicked off the first of six at home but when that final buzzer sounded they had lost the special teams battle and ultimately the game by a final score of 5-2. They’ll have a chance to rebound in a re-match with Iowa this afternoon at 2 PM for their Halloween game.

Note IV: Make it eight in a row for the Winnipeg Ice who, home or away, just continue to win. They defeated the Wheat Kings in their home opener last night to improve to 13-1-0-0 on the season. After living on the road to start 2022-23, their next nine are in Winnipeg. Next up will be the Everett Silvertips on Tuesday at Wayne Fleming Arena.

Note V: It was quite the night for Jets 2022 1st rounder Rutger McGroarty who picked up his first collegiate hat trick for the Wolverines last night in a 6-5 OT win for Michigan. He’s got 4G 6A for 10 points in 8 games.
