Note: The Jets suffered their fourth straight loss as they had a brutal middle frame (outshot 19-3 and outscored 2-0) which ultimately led to their 4-1 loss (oddly enough the seventh game in last 12 that ends 4-1). Today they were scheduled to be on the ice for a practice but they have chosen not to skate and will simply take off for a quick two-game road trip which starts tomorrow in Buffalo.
Note II: We learned yesterday that Nikolaj Ehlers is expected to miss 7-10 days and that Dylan Samberg is still a ways away.
Note III: The Moose were on the ice on Tuesday for a practice (sans Brad Lambert who was recalled) and today they’ll stay off the ice as they volunteer their time at Siloam Mission.
Note IV: Must have been a weird one for Jets prospect Brayden Yager (2023 1st) who played his first game on a new team in five WHL seasons and it came against his old team a day after he was traded from Moose Jaw to Lethbridge. He got the insurance marker into an empty net as the Hurricanes defeated the Warriors. In 22 games this season he has 12G 19A for 31 points.
