Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Missed opportunity for Jets.  (Paywall).  Home is where the heart is but apparently not where the wins are.  This homestand was supposed to be a difference maker for the Jets but they have certainly missed the boat when it came time to add points to the standings bank.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Key of Bart – He’s Got Bills. (video).  (Paywall).  Bartley Kives sets his site on Mark Chipman, Kevin Cheveldayoff and the unsigned Jets, Dustin Byfuglien and Andrew Ladd. With apologies to LunchMoney Lewis and his 2014 hit “Bills”.  As an aside I make a couple of appearances in the video which I wasn’t anticipating.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets perilously close to NHL basement.  And by close they mean TWO POINTS.  Fans who are expecting to see a top 3 pick (and based on our poll results to date quite a few of you are in that camp) are looking like your prognostication powers are more significant than the playoff folks.

Sportsnet:  What’s it like to be a rookie when: Nikolaj Ehlers.  He certainly has speed to burn as fans have found out this season.
