Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets just don’t stop winning as they won their fifth straight game last night defeating the Ducks 3-1 in Anaheim as they ran their points streak to 11 games (9-0-2) and they finished the evening as the top team in the entire NHL. Not too shabby.  Oh yeah and they continued their streak of not allowing three or more goals which hits 28. They are off today as the mentors trip will hit the links in Arizona. They will be back on the ice tomorrow when they conclude the trip against the Coyotes.

Note II: The Moose kick off two straight days of matinees against the Senators after a week of practice as they look to get back on track to start 2024. Puck drop is at 2 PM CST.

Note III:  How about you join us this morning for two hours of Winnipeg Jets talk on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show which gets underway at 9 AM sharp. We will be joined by Jeff Hamilton of the Winnipeg Free Press and Frank Corrado of TSN.
