Winnipeg Free Press:  Want a ticket to a Jets game? Surprising number available for sale.  (Paywall).  While demand isn’t what it was in the first few years I don’t think it is time to hit the panic button anytime soon.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Perreault hoping return to lineup energizes Jets tonight.  (Paywall).  When he hobbled off fans had to be thinking “here we go again” but as coach Maurice said earlier this season Perreault often does look like he is having a season ending injury occasionally when he takes a big hit.  Thankfully for the coach and fans #85 is fine and will be in the lineup tonight.
