Winnipeg Jets News & Notes:
The Winnipeg Jets are coming off a big win against the Nashville Predators. The Jets got captain Adam Lowry back skating with the team in a non-contact jersey. The team also received news that Cole Perfetti is ahead of schedule in his injury recover. There is no word on Dylan Samberg as of right now.
The biggest piece of news is Scheifele passing Blake Wheeler to become the all-time scoring leader in Jets 2.0 history. He scored a goal for point number 813, but has stated to the media that he’s looking for the all-time Jets scoring record between the 1.0 and 2.0 franchises.
Calgary Flames News & Notes:
The Calgary Flames are looking for a big win against the Winnipeg Jets as they have gotten off to a rotten start. The Flames also placed Daniil Mirmanov on waivers with intent to assign him to the Calgary Wranglers.
