The Jets won their fourth straight game last night defeating the Lightning 4-2 in an unexpectedly angsty game between two teams that only see each other twice per season.
Skate news:
After getting four players back for last night’s game the Jets might have another familiar face back soon as Saku Maenalanen is wearing a light blue (rather than a red non-contact) uniform according to Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun meaning he can engage in light contact. Not skating as per Scott are Morgan Barron and Kevin Stenlund. Lines and D pairs at practice are via Scott.
Lines and D Pairs:
Connor-Dubois-Ehlers
