Winnipeg Free Press: Battle lost, but war rages on. Due to the Jets slow start every game is critical as the season progresses. It is inexplicable why the teams has seen a reversal of last year's home vs. road success but they will have to hope that continues for next week and then figure out how to win at the MTS Centre since upon their return they play six of eight at home.

While the Jets haven't been too strong at the friendly confines of the MTS Centre they have been doing well on the road. They will need to maintain this road warrior mentality as they have three of the four road games against Southeast division rivals. A clean two points in these games will be essential for playoff chances. Winnipeg Sun: Claude Noel not hung up on team's power-play stats. Coach Noel had the media doing double takes the other day during his post-game presser when he was dismissive of stats and then almost within the same breath used a stat to make his point. The only stats that matter are 14.3% (25th ranked PP) and 72.7% (30th ranked PK). The good news for the Jets is the PK has improved from a woeful 67% just a few games ago.
