The Jets held a well attended optional on Tuesday which saw 10 guys attend the skate. While he didn’t skate with the team, prior to practice getting underway, defenceman Ville Heinola was on skates for the first time since he had ankle surgery on October 9th.

Heinola was skating for a second straight day on his own as he works his way back to full health.

Coach media:

Rick Bowness had a commitment before the team took off for Colorado so we didn’t hear from the Jets bench boss following skate.

Up next:

The Jets will take off for Colorado this afternoon where they will face the Avalanche tomorrow night. Don’t forget to start your day with the Jets morning papers at 7 AM, stick with us for updates all day long and then either join us live in person at Boston Pizza on Taylor for the Illegal Curve Post-Game live Show or join us online here.

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.
