The Minnesota Wilderness hope to return to their winning ways this weekend as they complete a 6-game home stand with a series against the Janesville Jets.
The Midwest Division rivals will tangle Friday and Saturday nights (Oct. 31-Nov. 1) at Northwoods Credit Union Arena, with puck drop set for 7:15 p.m. for both games.
These games will kick off the 2025-26 regular season-series between Minnesota and Janesville. As they did last season, the Wilderness and Jets will play eight times this season. In 2024-25, Minnesota won six of the eight contests vs. Janesville.

Last weekend, the Janesville (8-6-0) split a home weekend 2-game series vs. the Springfield Jr. Blues. The Jets fell 4-2, Friday (Oct. 24), before countering with a 4-3 shootout win Saturday (Oct. 25).
