Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets returned home after they went 2-1-0 on their three-game road trip courtesy of their 5-2 victory over the Blues last night in St. Louis. They were scheduled to practice at Canada Life today but have subsequently cancelled so they’ll be back on the ice tomorrow as they get set to kick off five straight at home starting with the Predators tomorrow night.

Note II: The Moose practiced on Tuesday as they put the past weekend behind them and got ready for the upcoming weekend as they get set to host Laval. It was a good news (Jets prospect Chaz Lucius is good to go) bad news (captain Jimmy Oligny dealing with an ACL/MCL injury) sort of day when it came to injury updates.  Today they will not be focused on hockey as they trade their hockey gloves for work gloves and head to Siloam Mission to help out those less fortunate in our community.
