Coach Maurice: The selection of Hellebuyck and Scheifele as All-Stars. Whether it means something to a player to be selected. How he managed today with his players. Will Mathieu Perreault be a player tomorrow?

Health Update:

Coach Maurice on veteran Mathieu Perreault who skated in a regular jersey and whether he would be a player tomorrow “For him to come off IR we wait ’til the last minute. We’ll get him through the morning skate tomorrow and make that decision but he’s feeling strong.”

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.
