Winnipeg Jets Practice Report

The day after beating the NYR the Jets hit the ice to prepare for the Stars.

The Jets are coming off a 2-1 win that got them back into the win column and helped keep some distance between themselves and the hard-charged Stars who are now eight points back (with two games in hand) and coincidentally are their next opponent. With that in mind the team hit the ice for a practice as they get ready for that game in two days time.

Skate news:

Everyone was present and accounted for except Neal Pionk, Nikolai Ehlers, Mason Appleton and Dylan DeMelo.

Jets centre Morgan Barron working with assistant coach Davis Payne on faceoffs during practice.
