Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers: Today’s Hockey Headlines | Jan 16, 2026

Note: The Jets had a quick trip to St. Paul which saw them demolish the Wild by a final score of 6-2 for their fourth straight victory. Today, they are back in Winnipeg where they were scheduled to practice as they get ready to host the Leafs tomorrow night but will instead take the day off.

Note II: The Moose, who saw Thomas Milic get named to the AHL All-Star Game on Thursday, are in Laval to take on former bench boss Pascal Vincent (who will be coaching in the game for the second straight season) and his top ranked Rocket squad. With the recall of Elias Salomonsson (and with Isaak Phillips already up) the team recalled Ben Zloty from the ECHL. Puck drop is at 6 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.
