Latest on Nino Nidereitter:

Six days ago Jets head coach Rick Bowness was hopeful that Nino Niederreiter, who suffered a cut to his leg in the game on April 1st, would not be out longer than a week. Today he provided an update which confirmed the Swiss forward would be on the trip but he wasn’t certain as to “when he’s gonna skate.”.

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.
