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.

CBC:  5 Things to Watch.  Jeff hits us with his five things in advance of the game including: 1) Hot start 2) Leaf-ing an impression 3) Third line shuffle 4) Both teams missing key pieces and 5) Manitoba Man.

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.
