Jets news:
Winnipeg Free Press: Maurice not taking Maple Leafs lightly. I would be shocked to hear a coach ever admit they are actually taking a team lightly. Even if coach Maurice won’t acknowledge it, the Leafs are riddled with injuries right now.
Winnipeg Sun: Leafs at disadvantage? Maurice won’t say. Just as his team has been saddled with more than their fare share of injuries so too has Toronto as they come in with a number of regulars out of the lineup.
