Winnipeg Jets Practice Report

There hasn’t been a lot of practice lately as the Jets have been using their days for travel. Today, they get back on the ice for a skate as they prepare to kick off three straight games at home starting on Thursday against the Kraken.

On Tuesday the Jets IR skate featured Cole Perfetti, Dylan Samberg and Adam Lowry. Head coach Scott Arniel indicated in his media availability on Monday in Calgary that this was the second day for 91 on the ice. Arniel said Perfetti was ahead of schedule and projected a mid November return although based on how the second line winger was skating yesterday it seems hard to believe it will take him that long to return to the lineup.
