Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Enstrom gets green light to returnGreat news for the Jets anemic power play.
Tobias Enstrom interview

Winnipeg Sun:  Enstrom to play against LightningWith the news that Ron Hainsey and Mark Stuart would be unavailable tonight, this comes as welcome relief to Jets fans worried about the team’s depth on D.

Illegal Curve:  Coach Noel pre-game scrumComments on firing of coach Boucher.  What was it like when he took over for coach Hitchcock?  Difficult part of coming in when someone has been released.  Did he get a sense players are more energized?  Is there a malaise hitting teams this season?  Managing the players energy (thinking for game vs. playoffs).  Injury updates (Wright – on IR, Stuart – will not be in game, Hainsey – not in game, Enstrom – off IR and in tonight, Peluso – week to week, Slater – week to week, Mario Lemieux – oh we don’t have him).  Optional practice.  Keys to managing injuries.
