Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets were on the ice in San Jose for a practice on Monday where we learned that Nikolaj Ehlers and David Gustafsson remain day-to-day. No expected changes based on the reported lines and D pairs on the ice at SAP Center on Monday but we will hear from head coach Scott Arniel at 12:30 PM CST before his team hits the ice at 1 PM CST for an optional skate. Check back for the pre-game report for any and all updates. Puck drop is at 9:30 PM CST.

Note II: This evening, after the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and San Jose, 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 starting around 12:10 AM CST.

Note III: The Moose were originally scheduled to be off today but after losing all four road games and winless in eight straight (0-7-1) the coaching staff will have them on the ice this morning at hockey for all centre. Practice starts at 10:30 AM CST. Check back for the Practice Report.

Note IV: Time for another Domenic DiVincentiis update as the Jets goalie prospect (2022 7th) improved to 8-0-0 with a .919 save % & 2.07 GAA with Norfolk. That’s two more wins since last update including a 32 save on 33 shot performance as the Admirals have now won 10 straight.
