Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets and Blues did battle in game 2 last night which was a physical game right from puck drop with the biggest hit of the night going to Logan Stanley who demolished Jordan Kyrou with this massive hit. The Jets also got some goal scoring courtesy of Mark Scheifele (here) and Kyle Connor (here) which combined with excellent goaltending from Connor Hellebuyck was enough to propel Winnipeg to a 2-1 game 2 win over St. Louis to allow them to take a 2-0 series lead. They are scheduled to hold an optional today. Stay tuned for the Practice Report.

Note II: The Moose will be holding exit meetings over the next couple of days which means split duty for us here. They start today at 9 AM CDT. We will have as much of it covered as we can so be sure to keep it locked here and to our YouTube channel for those end of season chats with Moose players and Jets prospects.
