Note: The Jets were able to end their losing skid yesterday afternoon defeating the Blackhawks 3-1 as they picked up their first win of the four game homestand. Declan Chisholm had a very solid regular season debut as he played his first game in 23 months which included his first NHL point on the insurance goal by Cole Perfetti. The Jets were scheduled to practice today but they are off instead.

Note II: The Moose practiced on Saturday morning as they prepared for today’s re-match against the IceHogs. Today they’ll be rocking the RCMP 150 jerseys when puck drops at 2 PM CST.

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.
