Note: The Jets wrapped up five games on the road last night in Montreal which saw them drop a 3-2 decision in a shootout. Today they will return to Winnipeg for a quick game against the Sabres back in the city on Friday before immediately leaving for Edmonton where they will face the Oilers on Saturday night. As mentioned today is a travel day.
Note II: The Moose were also in action on the road last night as they kicked off with the first of three games away from Manitoba. They took on the Wolves in Chicago which was the fifth time in seven games they’ve faced their Central Division rival. They rolled over them scoring twice in the 1st (Yager & Fagemo) and then three times in the 3rd (Duehr, Duehr & Di Giuseppe) on their way to a big 5-0 win. They’ll travel today to Iowa where they will play the Wild twice this weekend.

Winnipeg Sun: Better than nothing: Jets escape Montreal with a loser point. If not for Eric Comrie they likely wouldn’t have even escaped with one. He was excellent in this hockey game.
