Note: Winnipeg finally woke up to some good news<\/a> on the out-of-town scoreboard as the Oilers handed the Sharks a regulation loss last night which eliminates the game in hand that San Jose held over them. The Jets held a full practice yesterday<\/a> as they prepared for another massive test when they face the Blues this evening. Morning skate for Winnipeg gets underway at 11:30 AM CT so stay tuned for the pre-game report to ensure you\u2019re up-to-date on the latest. Puck drop is at 7 PM CT.<\/p>\n

Note II: This evening, after the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and St. Louis, we want you to be part of the conversation on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show<\/a> as we discuss and analyze the results of the game starting around 9:40 PM CT.<\/p>\n

Note III: The Moose wrapped up their regular season series with the Admirals last night in Winnipeg which saw them get absolutely pumped 7-0<\/a>. The loss hurts even more given the Stars lost their second straight game to the last place Wild which meant that Manitoba, with a win on Wednesday, would have been two points back with a game in hand and a weekend series against Texas. Instead they\u2019ve got Milwaukee back to three points behind them and Texas four points ahead. The team is off today.<\/p>\n

Note IV: Last night in the OHL Jets prospect Edison Engle (2025 6th) picked up an assist on the GWG for Brantford who took Game 1 of their second round series with North Bay. Tonight in the NCAA Garrett Brown (2022 4th) and his Denver Pioneers are in the Frozen Four taking on Michigan for a chance to play in the championship on Saturday.<\/p>\n
