Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers: Today’s Hockey Headlines | Feb 27, 2026

Note: The Jets travelled to California on Wednesday following a 3-2 overtime win in Vancouver on Tuesday as they get set to take on the Ducks. Morning skate for Winnipeg gets underway at 1:30 PM CST so stay tuned for the pre-game report to ensure you’re up-to-date on the latest. Puck drop is at 9 PM CST.

Note II: This evening, after the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and  Anaheim, 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 11:40 PM CST.

Note III: The Moose will practice today as they get to take on the Admirals for a pair of games in Milwaukee. We learned on Thursday that Tyrel Bauer will be the next Manitoba bobblehead.

Note IV: In the battle between Walton twins, Jets prospect Kieron (2024 6th) came out on the losing side against brother Conor as Peterborough lost to Windsor in a SO although he did finish with 1G 1A which puts him in a tie for 2nd overall in OHL points race. Over in the SHL, defenceman Alfons Freij (2024 2nd) is on quite the run scoring his fifth goal in the last four 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.
