Note: The Jets held an optional practice on Friday as they looked to reset in preparation for a monumental test when they face the Avalanche this afternoon . No morning skate for Winnipeg with it being a matinee so stay tuned for the pre-game report to ensure you\u2019re up-to-date on the latest. Puck drop is at 3 PM CT.<\/p>\n

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

Note III: The Moose looked like they were ready to go in Calgary last night as Tyrel Bauer and Alex Gallant had a big tilt just 14 seconds<\/a> into this one before the visitors took a 1-0 lead into the 1st intermission. And then something historic happened as Manitoba gave up SIX goals in ONE period to find themselves down 6-1 after 40, After that the final frame was academic and they would go on to lose 7-2<\/a>. They are off today.<\/p>\n

Note IV: Pair of Jets prospects found the back of the net on Friday night, one in the OHL and one in the WHL, with both scoring game-winning goals. Over in the \u2018O\u2019 it was Kevin He (2024 4th) who looked like he\u2019d been shot out of a rocket<\/a> to score this one shorthanded while in the \u2018W\u2019 it was Oakbank\u2019s Owen Martin (2025 3rd) who had two goals in a win<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Note V: What a difference a week makes as the Jets were on a roll when we last went live on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show and today they have lost two straight with a monumental task of taking on two red-hot teams in the Avs and Blues. We will have plenty to discuss so join us for two hours of hockey talk. We will also be joined by TSN reporter Danielle Bain and former NHLer turned analyst Martin Biron. Watch the show here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Winnipeg Sun: \u2018Trial by fire\u2019: Jets\u2019 d-man Salomonsson cool under duress<\/a>. One of the benefits of this potentially \u201clost season\u201d will be the development of a prospect like Salomonsson who could have been still in the AHL but for injuries and now because of the trades from last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
