Note III: The Moose used Monday as a travel day but they too had some news as Jets prospect Jacob Julien was reassigned from the ECHL affiliate Admirals to the AHL club of Manitoba. After being injured for the entire season he played his first couple of games as a pro and will have a chance to make his American Hockey League debut possibly tonight. The Moose take on the IceHogs in Rockford. Puck drop is at 7 PM CST.

Note IV: This news is more Jets adjacent as former head coach Rick Bowness is coming out of retirement to take over the bench in Columbus. Local fans won’t see him in Winnipeg since the Blue Jackets already played here this season but the Jets will be in Columbus in early April so the team will get a chance to see him then.
