Note: It was not a pretty night in Edmonton as the Jets got walloped by the Oilers by a final score of 6-2. They return home to the reality that they will have some tough competition coming up during this homestand. Today is an off day.

Note II: Things didn’t go much better for the AHL club of Manitoba who lost 3-0 to the Wild in Iowa. They will have a re-match this afternoon at 3 PM CST.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
