Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets were off on Monday as they used it as a travel day to California where they will kick off their three-game road trip. They did it with a few extra players as the team recalled goalie Chris Driedger and forward Jaret Anderson-Dolan to replace Eric Comrie (wife is expecting) and Rasmus Kupari (back in protocol). Morning skate for Winnipeg gets underway at 1 PM CDT so stay tuned for the pre-game report to ensure you’re up-to-date on the latest. Puck drop is at 9:30 PM CDT.

Note II: This evening, after the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and Los Angeles, 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 CDT.

Note III: The Moose had a practice yesterday as they prepared to kick off six straight games at home starting tonight against former head coach Pascal Vincent and his Rocket team who are ranked as the number 1 team in the entire AHL. We did get health updates from the head coach Mark Morrison on Nikita Chibrikov, Chaz Lucius and Parker Ford which you can read about here. Puck drop is at 7 PM CDT.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Jets netminder Connor Hellebuyck earns NHL third star honours. Not a surprise that he continues to be recognized week after week.

Winnipeg Free Press: Impact of Jets’ bench boss undeniable. (Paywall). Suspect there are more than a few folks who were poo poo’ing this selection before the season got underway who quietly deleted their social media comments as he has guided this team to rather rarefied air.
