Note: The Jets were off on Sunday after getting Connor Hellebuyck back in the fold on Saturday night. Morning skate for Winnipeg gets underway at 9:30 AM CST so stay tuned for the pre-game report to ensure you’re up-to-date on the latest. Puck drop is at 6:30 PM CST. Reminder the game is on Prime so you’ll need that to watch it.

Note II: This evening, after the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and Ottawa, 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 9:10 PM CST.

Note III: The Moose were looking to close out their unusual four-game stretch with the Wild yesterday afternoon with a victory but the only winners were Iowa who took the game 6-0 and the kids of Manitoba who will receive the Teddy Bears that got tossed during the 1st intermission. The Moose remain in 2nd spot in the Central. They are off today.

Note IV: Jets prospect Kieron Walton (2024 6th) got to the 20 goal mark yesterday. He’s on pace for 50+ and currently is tied for 3rd overall in the OHL points race. Heading west, Manitoban Owen Martin (2025 3rd) picked up his 9th goal of the season for Spokane on Sunday. He’s got four goals (and three assists) in his last six games.

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.
