Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets practiced on Monday which is something they’ll be doing quite a bit of over the next stretch as they are only scheduled to play a handful of games over the next three weeks, although today is a gameday. 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 New York, 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 also practiced on Monday (without some familiar faces) and will do that again today as they prepare to kick off four straight at home.
