The Jets were off on Saturday following their two-game road trip out west. The big question mark ahead of skate is the status of Paul Stastny who didn’t go with the team on the road as he continues to recover from a foot injury suffered on November 6th when he took a friendly fire shot.

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.
