The Jets hit the ice today at the IcePlex in advance of the final home game tomorrow afternoon against the Avalanche.  According to Sean Reynolds of Sportsnet the Jets practice saw a return of Nic Petan, Joel Armia and Shawn Matthias in regular uniforms.

Player audio:

Bryan Little:  Does he feel up to speed?  What will it take to get the power play going?  “Needing movement”.  Importance of this next game.

Coach video:

Paul Maurice:  Is there anything about Laine that surprises him?  Ever seen an 18 year old have a year like this?   Is the team “up to speed”?  Difference in Adam Lowry’s game from last December to this December?  On Adam Lowry going to the Moose and then making his way back to the big club.  More production from the backend.  On the penalty kill.  On Nikolaj Ehlers game.  On changing up the power play.

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.
