Winnipeg Jets Practice Report

The Jets are fresh off their 4-3 regulation win over division rival Wild last night and hit the ice for skate today at the IcePlex.

Practice Notes:

Via Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun we learn that Dmitry Kulikov and Matt Hendricks are continuing to skate in non-contact uniforms today at practice.  Neither Shawn Matthias or Mark Scheifele were on the ice.

Health Updates:

Coach Maurice provided updates following skate on some of his injured players indicating that “Both Kulikov and Hendricks were in a normal sweater today so they look like if they can get through their week, get their conditioning up, they’d be available for us.  We are hopeful to get Lowry on the ice Monday, possible, and we will see where he is at moving forward.”

With Mark Scheifele and Shawn Matthias taking maintenance days there was some question as to their health but the coach said “Both I would say could have practiced today.  They’re 100% for Monday.”.

Coach Maurice:  On the Jets bouncing back from the disallowed goal.  On the five day break between the Wild and Penguins game.  What does he see from the Jets 3rd period play?  On the decision making.  On Laine’s game overall against the Wild.  On the Jets internal competition.  On the Trouba/Morrissey pairing.  On the puck drop during the power play.
