Note: The Jets were off on Saturday following their 3-0 win over the Panthers on Friday. Today they are in Nashville where they will close out their three-game road trip against the Predators. The big question will be the status of Gabriel Vilardi and whether or not he will play today. If Vilardi does come off IR the Jets would have to make a move as they are currently at the 23-man roster limit. The team also recalled Declan Chisholm from his conditioning stint with the Moose. With it being a gameday all eyes will be on morning skate which gets underway at 11:30 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 Nashville, 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 were also off on Saturday following their 5-1 loss against the Griffins on Friday night. They close out their six-game road trip tonight in a re-match with the Griffins. Puck drop is at 4 PM CST.
Jets news:
Winnipeg Sun: Is this the best iteration of the Winnipeg Jets since their return? Approaching the 1/4 pole in the season the snapshot of who this team is is coming into focus and they are playing some really good hockey. From a record perspective they are very close to the 2017/18 team and having an identical start to 2018-19.
