Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Bogosian out as Jets face Islanders.  The big news out of Uniondale this AM was that the Jets would be without the services of defenceman and New York state native Zach Bogosian who is day to day with an upper body injury. 

Winnipeg Sun:  No-go for Bogo tonight.  This makes it even more difficult for the Jets against a very good Islanders team.

NHL.com:  At the Rink.  The column, which is usually penned by Patrick Williams when in Winnipeg, is being done by NHL.com managing editor John Kreiser and brings you up to speed on tonight’s game.

CBC:  Little by name, big in value.  Missed this article by Jeff earlier as he looks at the impact being made by Bryan Little for this hockey team.

Illegal Curve:  Jets vs. Islanders projected lineups.  Take a look at what the lines looked like after practice today and what combos you should expect to see at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum this evening.

Illegal Curve:  Coach Maurice pre-game scrum (audio).  On Zach Bogosian’s absence from practice this AM.  A discussion about the last game against Colorado.  How different does this Islanders team look from a year ago?  On the Jets game plan tonight.  How close does he feel like this Jets team is to his end game?  Nice road trip in terms of travel?  Good for the players?  Any memories/thoughts coming into Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum for last time?  What does he recall about his time with Whalers and moving (pertaining to Islanders previously being in limbo).  What’s it like being in Winnipeg similar to Hartford and Long Island, being the ‘only game in town’?

Illegal Curve:  Morning Papers. If you missed any of the news this AM we have you covered.
