The Jets continue to add points to the standings bank as they picked up another two last night courtesy of a 4-3 OT win over the Habs in Montreal to kick off their five-game road trip. They’ve gone 6-1-0 in their last seven games and currently sit in 2nd place in the North Division.

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.
