Note: The Jets looked like their little run was going to end at four games after the first period in Dallas last night. They trailed 2-0 and had already lost Dylan DeMelo for the game (we subsequently learned he’s week-to-week). But hockey is a 60-minute game, and Winnipeg got rolling in the middle frame, scoring five goals against Jake Oettinger before adding three more in the final period. By the time the final buzzer sounded, the Jets had rolled to an 8-3 victory, extending their winning streak to five games while making a little franchise history along the way. Today, they are in Chicago where they are set to practice at 1:30 PM CDT. Check back for the Practice Report.
Note II: The Moose are also in Illinois, although they’ll be in Rosemont to take on the IceHogs after earning a split against the Stars in Texas to begin their five-game road trip. We’ll be watching to see who the Jets recall to replace the injured Dylan DeMelo (likely Henry Thrun) and whether any of the day-to-day players, including Walker Duehr, Noah Gregor or Colby Barlow, are ready to return to the lineup. Puck drop is at 8 PM CT.
