Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers
The Jets have had a well-deserved break from the rink, given their recent performance slump before the holiday break. The morning skate for Winnipeg is set to begin at 9:30 AM CST, so stay tuned for our pre-game report to keep you up-to-date with the latest team news. The puck drops at 6 PM CST.
Evening plans are in place for those who want to dive deeper into the game analysis. After the final buzzer sounds between Winnipeg and Minnesota, join us on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show (https://www.youtube.com/live/9I78GxUfBcc) at approximately 8:40 PM CST for an in-depth discussion and analysis of the game's outcomes.
Meanwhile, the Moose remain on their holiday break, set to return to action on New Year's Eve, when they will host the defending Calder Cup champions, the Canucks. One notable member of the AHL club of Manitoba is captain Mason Shaw, who made a significant contribution by scoring a goal at the Spengler Cup, helping Canada secure a win in their opening game.
Additionally, we're taking today's Illegal Curve Hockey Show off the air.
