Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers: Today’s Hockey Headlines | Jan 20, 2026

Note: The Jets are back in the city after facing off against the Hawks last night in Chicago which saw them lose 2-0 to the Hawks in an emotional return to the city for Jonathan Toews. Since they played last night, no morning skate for Winnipeg but stay tuned for the pre-game report to ensure you’re up-to-date on the latest. Puck drop is at 7 PM CST.

Note II: This evening, after the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and St. Louis, 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 9:40 PM CST.

Note III: The Moose were off on Monday after concluding their six-game road trip with back-to-back wins over the North Division leading Rocket. They will practice today.

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.
