Jets news:
Sportsnet: Connor among star NHL rookies flying under the radar. They really wanted to illustrate that headline by cutting Kyle Connor (for the most part) out of that picture. As someone who has watched almost all of this NHL and AHL games I’m not really surprised by his play but it is easy to get overlooked when guys like Wheeler, Laine, Scheifele are on your team.
Winnipeg Sun: No structural damage for Jets’ centre Mark Scheifele. The news could have been a lot worse for a Jets team that looked like it was firing on all cylinders and starting to get healthy again.
