Note: We learned on Saturday after the Jets hit the ice for practice<\/a> that they would be without Vlad Namestnikov for the near future as he is out week-to-week<\/a> with a lower-body injury although the news was better as it pertains to Mark Scheifele who appears to be a game-time decision. No morning skate for Winnipeg but stay tuned for the pre-game report to ensure you\u2019re up-to-date on the latest. Puck drop is at 3 PM CST.<\/p>\n

Note II: This evening, after the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and San Jose, we want you to be part of the conversation on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show as we discuss and analyze the results of the game starting around 5:40 PM CST.<\/p>\n

Note III: As good as the Moose did in the first game of the road trip when they faced the toughest team in the AHL, they didn\u2019t fare too well this evening against a much less structured (when compared to the Griffins) Admirals team. While Brayden Yager scored a beauty goal<\/a> and Tyson Empey finished the game with a Gordie Howe Hattrick,<\/p>\n

Note IV: In the OHL last night a pair of Jets prospects went head-to-head with Jacob Cloutier (2025 7th) and his Saginaw club up against Kieron Walton (2024 6th) and Peterborough. Cloutier finished the game with one goal<\/a> (a wicked wrister) while Walton got an assist<\/a> which got him to the 80 point plateau for the second straight season. In the WHL it was Manitoban Owen Martin who had one goal<\/a> and three assists to continue his heater in a win for Spokane.<\/p>\n

Winnipeg Sun:\u00a0Fleury makes his return against the San Jose Sharks<\/a>. Given the nature of his injury I didn\u2019t anticipate Haydn Fleury being the first defenceman back in the lineup but Colin Miller and Neal Pionk (who suffered a new injury as he was set to return) are both still out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
