Note: The Jets stayed off the ice on Wednesday but they did make a move off of it, with the team announcing the reduction of their training camp roster by 12 players. None of the names came as a surprise and it now leaves Winnipeg with 31 healthy players (as well as three injured ones). They are set to practice today and tomorrow before they head to Colorado to play their fourth and final exhibition game of the pre-season.
Note II: They are set to hit the ice as one group this morning (11 AM CT) down at hockey for all centre. We’ll have it all covered including all of the media availabilities which can be watched here or on our YouTube channel.
Note III: We spent the third day of Moose training camp with the AHL club yesterday although they didn’t receive the influx of players until well after they were done on the ice. You can get up-to-date with them here. They will hit the road for Minnesota today as they kick off a pair of exhibition games against the (Iowa) Wild on Friday and Saturday.
