Winnipeg Jets Practice Report | Olympic Games

The Jets suffered their fourth straight loss last night (0-3-1) as they finished the game in Pittsburgh 3-0 to the Penguins. It was their third shutout in seven games. Not only did they lose the game, but they also lost their quarterback Brenden Dillon The question was who was given a match penalty and then would there be further discipline?

The organization is also waiting to see what fate will bring Axel Johnson-Fjallby Who refused yesterday? We'll know if it's cleared or appealed at 1pm CST. (Update: He passed waivers and will be assigned to the Moose).

News before training:

News broke this morning that Dillon had a phone interview with player safety Noel Acciari was recognized as an illegal inspection of the head. The seriousness of his wiretapping means the maximum suspension cannot exceed five games.

Skate news:

according to Mike McIntyre The Winnipeg Free Press' D pairings changed in anticipation of Dillon's suspension. Right now there is only one additional D person Logan Stanley after Declan Chisholm last week demanded a waiver. If they want to remember Ville Heinola this move requires someone (Toninato) to be rejected because the list is complete.
