Jets 2018 2nd round pick David Gustafsson was IR skating today on his own ahead of Moose practice at the IcePlex.  He is still dealing with an injury he sustained in the World Junior Tournament which saw him and his Swedish team win a bronze medal.

Following skate Moose head coach Pascal Vincent advised me that “I don’t think he is going to play this weekend but after the break he should be good to go.”

The Moose play the Wild in Iowa this weekend on Friday and Saturday followed by the AHL All-Star break on Monday, January 27th.  Manitoba resumes their road trip on Friday, January 31st in Rockford.

I spoke to Gustafsson following his skate and ahead of Moose practice about a number of topics.  Our 1 on 1 will be on site tomorrow.

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.
