The Winnipeg Jets focused Friday on the finer points of their game after gutting out a gruelling on-ice session 24 hours earlier that left many players hunched over and gasping for breath.
Head coach Paul Maurice designed a practice at Bell MTS Iceplex with plenty of quickness drills in mind early on but went heavy on special-teams’ work for the final 30 minutes, prior to the team’s departure for Calgary.
The Flames host the Jets tonight at 9 p.m. CT at the Scotiabank Saddledome (TSN3-TV, TSN 1290-Radio).
It’s the first of three straight contests on the road for the Jets, who are looking to rebound from a startling 7-2 loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs at a jam-packed Bell MTS Place on Wednesday night.
