Note: The Jets are on holiday break until February 9th. We did compile a health update on the trio (DeMelo, Appleton & Gustafsson) who remain on the shelf which you can read here.
Note II: The Moose were in Rockford last night where they tied the game on a Daniel Torgersson goal, took the lead with a Ville Heinola shorthanded marker but ultimately lost a tough one in a shootout. Today they are an hour and a half northeast in Milwaukee where they will have a few days of practice ahead of the final two games before the All-Star break against the Admirals.
Note III: The first place Ice are in action tonight as they take on the fourth place Blades here in Winnipeg for a single home game before they head back out on the road for a pair of games in Brandon and Saskatoon. Puck drop at Wayne Fleming Arena is at 7:05 PM CST.

Jets news:
Winnipeg Free Press: Morrissey born to lead. (Paywall). He is a natural leader, respected by his teammates, can handle media in tough situations and is committed to the city until at least the 2027-28 season (which is longer than anyone else on the team).
Sportsnet: 32 Thoughts. Nothing too exciting in here about the Jets. In thought 5 he mentions Morrissey and being named next captain and in thought 28 he spoke about Connor Hellebuyck and who he doesn’t like around his crease.
Sportsnet: Scout’s Analysis: How the Winnipeg Jets should approach trade deadline. An interesting read with an assessment of the current Jets team and some players that could be of interest (and what a potential trade might involve).
Winnipeg Sun: Josh Morrissey leading Jets on and off the ice. Folks will be talking about that Morrissey goal celebration for the rest of this season and beyond. For a mild mannered guy like him it was quite the reaction, which as we discussed after the game was defining for both his team and the fans.

The Athletic Winnipeg: Jets’ Josh Morrissey is showing why he’s captain material. (Paywall). While I personally was of the opinion that 44 should be the next captain of this team prior to this season starting, the fortunate part for the Jets is they have a number of players who could step up and wear the ‘C’. Murat details why Morrissey would be a good choice for the third captain of the Jets 2.0.

Daily Faceoff: Winnipeg Jets’ Chaz Lucius making the WHL look silly. It is exactly the sort of boost a 19 year old kid without a lot of hockey under his belt the last few years due to injury, needed.
