Note: The Jets just keep winning as they went into Ottawa, against a reduced Senators roster to be fair, and picked up their 11th straight victory defeating the home team 4-1. No time for rest however as they are in Nashville today where they will take on the Predators for the second time this season on the second game of a back-to-back. No morning skate as they played last night but be sure to stay tuned for the pre-game report to ensure you’re up-to-date on the latest. Puck drop is at 7 PM CST.
Note II: This evening, after the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and Nashville, 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 9:40 PM CST.
Note III: The AHL club of Manitoba was also in southern Ontario doing battle against a team named the Senators as they went up against the baby Sens last night as they looked to keep the positive vibes alive on the road after a comeback win in OT against the Marlies earlier in the week. That theme continued as they forced OT late in the game and then for the second straight game it was captain Dominic Toninato who won the game for his club in overtime. Be sure to check the full game recap here. They are scheduled to practice for tomorrow’s re-match in Belleville.
Note IV: Prospect Brayden Yager (2023 1st) with his 24th goal of the season which tied the game for Lethbridge in the 3rd. He’s got 24G 48A for 72 points in 46 games.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets sloppy and ugly, but still winners in Ottawa. It wasn’t all ugly in my mind. The pass to Perfetti and his deflection were very nice as was the deceptive pass by Gabriel Vilardi to Kyle Connor on the third goal. But Paul shares his insights from last night’s game.
