The Jets finally hit the ice at the MTS Centre following the longest road trip of the season.  According to Judy Owen who writes for the Canadian Press both Mark Scheifele and Alexander Burmistrov were absent from practice.  Paul Friesen of the Winnipeg Sun tweeted that Adam Pardy was wearing a white forward jersey.

Lines from skate today according to Paul:

Copp Peluso Pardy

Update on Mark Scheifele:  “Coach Maurice said Scheifele is game-time decision and it’s lower-body, not related to the concussion he had.” from Judy Owen.

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.
