Jets news

Note: Another Jets preseason game day is here as the Jets will practice in Winnipeg before they head to Calgary for a rematch with the Flames. It will be a lineup filled with prospects as the team gets ready to trim their roster down (likely Wednesday). The playing group won't skate this morning but there will be a media availability at 11 AM so be sure to check back to the site for our pre-game report. Puck drop is at 8 pm and will be followed with our usual post-game recap. Note II: There was a Jets heavy focus in the first TSN Insider Trading panel of the season as Bob McKenzie, Darren Dreger and Pierre LeBrun weighed in on Kyle Connor, Dustin Byfuglien and Patrik Laine respectively. Note III: The Moose are loose as they kicked off the on-ice portion of their training camp on Monday. While there were some familiar faces including former team captain John Albert the majority of players are still with the Jets training camp. That should change by Wednesday or Thursday when Jets cuts are expected and the Moose will get a big influx of players. Jets news: Sportsnet: 31 Thoughts. 1 (How Point contract impacts other RFAs like Laine and Connor), 2 (Point & Laine), 16 (Paul Maurice picking themes for the season), 17 (ignoring the noise), 18 (Maurice conversation with Morrissey) & 19 (alternate captain vacancy). Winnipeg Sun: Nogier has moved into Maurice's depth house. Nelson Nogier got a game with the Jets last year after a drought of NHL opportunity (prior to that game he last played in 2016-17) and given that he has continued his development and given the Jets lack of depth, it is the perfect storm for the Saskatchewan product to seize the chance when it presents itself this season. Winnipeg Sun: Berdin isn't your typical goalie, and that's A-OK. As someone who covered his first season as a pro with the Moose I can attest to the fact that he is a character. Having said that while most goalies are characters Mikhail may be at the top of that chart.
