According to Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun the Jets “didn’t do any line rushes so was impossible to tell what possible changes could be made.”  We will have to wait to see what happens tomorrow at morning skate.

Neither Dustin Byfuglien or Blake Wheeler skated today in Edmonton but coach Maurice confirmed it was a maintenance day for them both.

Coach Maurice confirmed that Connor Hellebuyck will be making his first start of the season tomorrow against the Oilers.

Coach Maurice:  How can you teach a team to be unflappable?  Leaning on the veterans.  Does the team need to work more on the mental side than the X’s and O’s?  Any personnel changes for tomorrow?  What is the goaltending plan?  Maintenance for Byfuglien and Wheeler?

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.
