Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers: Today’s Hockey Headlines | Jan 28, 2026

Note: The Jets kicked off their four-game road trip with a big 4-3 win over the Devils allowing them to bank some points into their standings bank. The problem for them is that the teams around them keep winning so it will be difficult to overcome some of them if they all maintain this pace for the next 30 games. They are off today and are next in action tomorrow when they take on the Lightning in Tampa.

Note II: The Moose hit the ice for a practice on Tuesday as they continue to prepare for a weekend set playing host to the IceHogs. They have another day of practice scheduled for today so stay tuned for another Practice Report.

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.
