The Jets hit the ice for a final day of practice as they prepare to face the Islanders tomorrow night here in Winnipeg before taking a break for the 4 Nations Tournament which gets underway next week.
No real lineup question marks as we know that both Adam Lowry and Morgan Barron won’t be available until some time after the break. The only potential change could see Ville Heinola get back into the lineup as he has been a healthy scratch for nine straight games.
