Note: The Jets were off on Thursday after they returned from a three-game road trip which saw them pick up a win, a loss and an overtime defeat. There are plenty of questions marks when it comes to the health of Mark Scheifele, Gabriel Vilardi and Josh Morrissey. We should get some insight today as the team is scheduled to practice today at 11 AM CST. Stay tuned for the Practice Report.

Note II: The Moose held an unexpected practice on Thursday as they try to work their way out of this losing streak which has hit 11 straight (0-10-1). Today they travel to Rockford as they hit the road for nine straight (although that will be broken up as a five game trip, then All-Star break and then a four game trip). This weekend they will take on the IceHogs on Saturday and the Wolves on Sunday.

Winnipeg Free Press: Break couldn’t come at a better time for injury-riddled Jets. (Paywall). While we know the names of the players who are dealing with something, at this point in the season the majority of players likely have bumps and bruises that they are dealing with.

Sportsnet: Prospects of interest on six ‘buying’ teams in NHL trade market. The mere mention of Rutger McGroarty is a 100% a no chance for the Jets. The likelihood they deal him is nil. I do think Dmitri Rashevsky, a 2021 5th rounder, who has had good back-to-back seasons in the KHL, would be a player in play.
