Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets held their third straight day of practice on Friday in Winnipeg which didn’t see anything out of the ordinary. We did learn that Kyle Connor is expected to join the team in St. Louis while Connor Hellebuyck and Josh Morrissey returned to Manitoba and will not play tonight. Morning skate gets underway at 10:30 AM CST so stay tuned for the pre-game report to ensure you’re up-to-date on the latest. Puck drop is at 6 PM CST.

Note II: We will set you up for the game, recap the week in Jetsland and discuss the 4 Nations tournament on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show as we return from our one week hiatus starting at 9 AM CST.

Note III: Join us live at Boston Pizza on Taylor Avenue for an IC Watch Party followed by the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show which starts around 8:40 PM CST.

Note IV: The Moose were looking to earn a two-game sweep of the top ranked Rocket last night in Laval but a close game (2-1 after 40) heading into the 3rd saw the home team score three goals in the final frame to make it a 5-1 game for former head coach Pascal Vincent’s new squad.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Jets pack up streak, tans, but no Josh Morrissey, for trip to St. Louis. Paul sets up the game.

Winnipeg Sun: ‘He’d be in my lineup’: 4-Nations final an emotional blender for Jets. No surprise that the Jets were shocked that 81 was left off the roster for the championship game.

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets get back to business vs. Blues. (Paywall). Should be a good Central Division tilt.

Winnipeg Free Press: 4 Nations Face-Off excedes expectations. (Paywall). I was a hater before it got underway but was blown away at the end.
