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

Note: The Jets kicked off their road trip last night in Boston which saw them get absolutely crushed by the Bruins by a final score of 6-1. Today, they are set to practice in Pittsburgh so check back for the Practice Report.

Note II: The Moose were also in action yesterday as they wrapped up a two-game set against the Admirals which saw the home team bounce back with a big 3-1 win which allowed them to add some distance between themselves and Milwaukee. They are off today.

Note III: Also Moose related, we spoke with Jets prospect Alfons Freij yesterday after his first skate with the Moose. You can watch it here.

Note IV: Only prospect in action was Kieron Walton (2024 6th) who scored his 39th goal of the season in OT which means it was also the 10th game-winning goal of the season for him which puts him into a tie for top spot in the OHL in that category. He also set a new career high in goals.

Note V: We learned yesterday that Neal Pionk has taken the next step at Jets morning skate, weekend return possible.

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.
