Audio:

Mathieu Perreault: What are the Jets doing better at this point in the year? On the Jets power play working. What makes him, Scheifele and Wheeler mesh so well? What has been the Jets keys to success on the road? Finishing the season on the “right way”.

Coach Maurice: Update on Trouba. Same blue line. Was back-to-back a factor in Trouba decision. Status of Dano. On Tanev improving his game. Why have the Jets had success on the road? What went into the decision to flipping Laine on the power play? How has he liked it so far? On the “public noise” surrounding his usage of Laine on the power play.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
