Ehlers-Perfetti-Niederreiter
Iafallo-Lowry-Appleton
Barron-Kupari-Namestnikov

Players Media availability:

Following skate we heard from Jets head coach Rick Bowness as his club gets ready to face the Panthers tomorrow afternoon to play their home opener.

Topics:

1) What his team accomplished in Calgary that he’d like to see carry over?
2) What does he want to correct from the last game? (1:12)
3) Panthers having to deal with similar situation to what Jets went through. (2:09)
4) Any health concerns with Nikolaj Ehlers based on end of last game? (2:41)
5) Taking advantage of home ice (3:04)

Next up:

The Jets will host the Panthers tomorrow afternoon with puck drop at 3 PM. Be sure you join us tomorrow on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show at 9 AM and then after the final buzzer on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show.

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.
