Note: The Jets were in Vancouver last night where they laid an egg in a 6-2 loss to the Canucks. They are travelling today so no media.
Note II: While it is likely too little too late the Moose close out the four-game road trip with a must-win game against the Icehogs in Rockford. They sit 10 points back of tonight’s opponent with 14 games remaining (and two more meetings against them after this game). Puck drop is at 7 PM CDT.
Note III: Jets prospect Markus Loponen (2024 5th) with 1G 1A for in a Victoria win last night. He was named 2nd Star of the Game.
