Note: The Jets returned to action last night playing their first game in over ten days after the All-Star break as they welcomed the Blackhawks to town for a late Saturday contest which saw the home team win by a final score of 4-1. They are off today and will return to the ice on Monday for a practice.

Note II: For the second straight night the Moose picked up a win in Grand Rapids as they defeated the Griffins by a final score of 5-1 in a balanced attack from the visitors. They got goals from Jansen Harkins (100th AHL point)(see here), Alex Limoges (GWG) (see here), Kristian Reichel (5G in last four games) (see here), Cole Maier (see here) and Dominic Toninato (see here) to improve to 24-15-3-2 on the season. They will conclude the road trip in Toronto on Monday as they complete the game that was halted due to a medical emergency that took place in the stands.

Note III: The Ice were also in action last night as they pummeled the Oil Kings 7-1 to keep the homestand a perfect 3/3 with one game remaining on this four game set in Winnipeg which they will conclude on Wednesday against Swift Current.
