The Wild flew home from Winnipeg following Friday night's 4-1 loss to the Jets, practiced on Saturday and headed to their homes.

The Jets, on the other hand, never made it to the Twin Cities. They flew down on Saturday, and their team plane was diverted to Duluth. Without a shot at getting here later in the day, they flew back to Winnipeg and will try again tomorrow morning.
