Note: The Jets coming off their OT win over the Lightning on Wednesday night chose to skip practice on Thursday giving the team the day off instead although as per Darren Dreger sounds like team met up with head coach Rick Bowness who is currently on a leave of absence. With it being a gameday all eyes will be on morning skate which gets underway at 10:30 AM CST. All the relevant news will be posted in the pre-game report so check back for that. Puck drop is at 7 PM CST.

Note II: This evening, after the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and Florida, we want you to be part of the conversation on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show as we discuss and analyze the results of the game.

Note III: The Moose traveled to Grand Rapids yesterday and will take on the Griffins this evening as their road trip gets set to wrap up in Michigan this weekend. Puck drop is at 6 PM CST.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Jets recognizing, reacting to, key moments as the wins pile up. No folding up of the tent and going home with this club. Dealt with the adversity, bent but did not break and then pushed for the win.

Winnipeg Free Press: Solid Jets blue-liner DeMelo happy to ply his trade in supporting role. (Paywall). He’s the type of defenceman that every single NHL club loves to have as he quietly and efficiently goes about his job.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
