Winnipeg Jets Practice Report

The Jets are getting ready to depart Winnipeg with a three-game win streak sitting right at the top of the NHL standings (in 2nd spot).

The only question mark from a health perspective was Gustav Nyquist and potentially if either Dylan Samberg and Cole Perfetti are out of the yellow, non-contact jerseys.

Skate news:

Adam Lowry in a regular jersey. Both Dylan Samberg & Cole Perfetti in non-contact yellow. No Gustav Nyquist or Morgan Barron.
