ST. PAUL, Minn. — It was a communication day for the Winnipeg Jets, mired in a November slide that has seen them lose eight of their last 10.
Jets coach Paul Maurice ran an all-business 29-minute practice this afternoon at Xcel Energy Center, where his team meets the Minnesota Wild Friday afternoon at 3 p.m. (TSN3, TSN1290).
Beyond the usual amount of barking and curse words, Maurice had several conversations on the ice today that were clearly not casual and revealed later there was more to the day than on the ice for the 10-11-2 team that lost 5-3 Wednesday night in Washington.
