BOSTON – The curtain comes up on another Winnipeg Jets season tonight in Beantown. And, predictably, with opening night come excitement and nerves.
The Jets were noticeably loose as they conducted their game-day skate at TD Garden in advance of tonight’s tilt with the Boston Bruins (6 p.m., TSN3/TSN 1290) as part of a four-game road trip to open the 2015-16 season.
"We have fairly lively morning skates," said Jets coach Paul Maurice with a grin. "First game… everybody’s going to be wired up and they’ll settle into it after five or 10 minutes. Lots of energy, I think everybody’s just happy training camp is over.
