The Jets are rolling at home right now having won three straight at Bell MTS Place including last night’s 3-1 win over the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals. It wasn’t all good news for Winnipeg as the Department of Player Safety indicated that Josh Morrissey will have a hearing for his hit on TJ Oshie in the final minutes of the game. However the focus now is back on the ice for practice as they prepare to close out this four game home stand against Buffalo tomorrow night.
Practice notes:
According to Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun all are present and accounted for with the exception of Dustin Byfuglien.
