Winnipeg Free Press: Size just a perk when you have Petan’s skill. (Paywall). Every time he touches the puck you can see that he has talent.
Winnipeg Sun: Jets blow lead, fall 4-3 to Oilers in OT. It looked like the Jets would be heading to OT last night as we entered the 3rd period simply because they were playing a league mandated 3 on 3 OT. Instead three 3rd period goals had them playing OT for real. Ken breaks down the game.
Winnipeg Sun: Copp flying under the radar. He played his third pre season game last night as the Jets brass give him a long look as they try to ascertain whether he can fill a role for them this season.
Edmonton Journal: Oilers claw back from 3-0 deficit for 4-3 overtime win. Read about the game from a beat writer who covers the Jets opposition.
