Jets news:
Winnipeg Free Press: Trouba closer to return. While he remains aways away the sooner he can get back the better for the Jets decimated D-core.
Winnipeg Free Press: Bogo a no-go against Minny. It did not sound good and coach Noel did little to allay fears that this wouldn’t be longer than a game or two.
Winnipeg Free Press: Jets’ PP starts rising, PK starts falling. Probably better to have them both somewhere in the middle than on either ends of the spectrum.
Winnipeg Sun: Redmond set to replace Bogosian on blue line. Coach Noel spoke about wanting to get Redmond into some game action but I’m sure it wasn’t at the expense of losing one of his top blueliner.
Illegal Curve: Coach Noel scrum. Injury update – Bogosian will not be a player in the game (longer than day to day), Stuart and Trouba not available for game vs. Wild (Stuart can have contact).
Illegal Curve: Player audio. Hear from Olli Jokinen, Zach Redmond and Jacob Trouba.
IceCaps news:
The Telegram: IceCaps fall to Sharks in shootout again. Perhaps they need to come see what the Jets are doing in the SO, because whatever they are doing down on the farm isn’t working.
Opposition (Wild) news:
Minneapolis Star-Tribune: Winning a must for Wild to stay afloat in Western Conference. Jets fans can more than empathize with their Wild brethren as they too watch their team win and barely make a dent in the Western Conference standings.
