Winnipeg Free Press:  Cruisin’ for a Blues-in’Another ‘heavy’ team will be rolling into the MTS Centre and it will be quite the test for your Winnipeg Jets.

Winnipeg Free Press:  ‘… Hopefully, this will be the break’Personally I don’t see this happening.  It seems like the Jets know what they have in Cormier.  Perhaps he can show another level of play.

Winnipeg Sun:  Kane concerns not the most pressing for JetsThe key tonight, aside from playing a full 60 minutes of hockey, is the way in which this team starts the game.   They’ve had a few days off to lick their wounds and prepare to face a skilled team.  Time to show fans what this team is made of.

Winnipeg Sun:  Wright’s stuff is what Jets ask forIs the critique or Wright fair or foul?  Does he provide what this team needs or is coach Noel irrationally giving him more time than his ability justifies?
