Note: The Trade Deadline has come and gone with Winnipeg making two more acquisitions on Friday including defenceman Luke Schenn from the Penguins (more here) and winger Brandon Tanev from the Kraken (more here). The only other move they made was a goalie swap with the Panthers which saw them add Winnipegger Chris Driedger. We’ve got a recap from the day here.
Note II: The Jets wrapped up their back-to-back with a game in New Jersey last night which saw them throttle the Devils by a 6-1 score in New Jersey last night. The team are off today.
Note III: The Moose are back in action today as they look to keep things rolling this afternoon against the Wranglers in Winnipeg. Puck drop is at 2 PM CST.
Note IV: Join us for two hours of Jets talk as we reflect on the NHL Trade Deadline, what Winnipeg did (or didn’t do) and more on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show. We will be joined by Kelly Moore of 680 CJOB and Craig Button of TSN.
