Note: Following last night’s tough 3-2 loss with just a few seconds remaining on the clock the Jets have to immediately put it behind them and get ready for a tough road trip out West. They start with a date in Arizona on Thursday but will have a couple of days in Winnipeg to practice in advance of the trip. Be sure to follow @illegalcurve for all the latest Jets news.
Jets news:
CBC: It’s OK Jets fans, still plenty to feel good about. Jeff starts with the tough loss to the Sharks as well as discussing the depleted roster, the Perreault show, Mo magic and How clutch is Hutch.
Winnipeg Free Press: Non-stop penalty killing a drain on depleted roster. It isn’t just a special teams goal against that is a killer. It is the energy you lose killing off the penalty that can tremendously impact a game.
Winnipeg Free Press: Sharks take late bite out of Jets. Just 4.5 seconds remained in the game but a lost faceoff and lost coverage meant the Jets ended the night without any points in a game that they probably didn’t deserve any but looked like they would get at least one.
