Winnipeg Jets Practice Report

The Jets did battle with the Stars on Tuesday night in a Central division tilt which saw the home team get shutout for the first time this season as they lost 2-0 which was their second straight loss.

Biggest question mark is the health of Gabriel Vilardi who continues to recover from his MCL injury sustained in game three of the season.

Skate news:

No big revelations other than Vilardi working in with the fourth line as per Mike McIntyre of the Winnipeg Free Press.
