Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Maurice puts Jets through their paces ahead of game against Lightning.  Both coaches are looking for a response from their team so it should make for an interesting game tonight in Tampa.  Ondrej Pavelec will make his third straight start for the Jets.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets look for response to coach’s message against Lightning.  Last year the critical win over Tampa in mid March seemed to spur the Jets push forward in their quest for the playoffs.  While it would be naive to think that one win will switch things around for Winnipeg another loss could have big implications as the February 29th trade deadline looms.

TBO:  Forwards key to preventing odd-man rushes.  Read about the Jets opposition from a Lighting beat writer.

Illegal Curve:  Jets vs. Lightning projected lineups.  No real lines as the Jets didn’t have line rushes and the Lighting have a few game time decisions.  Audio from Tyler Myers.

Illegal Curve:  Coach Maurice pre-game scrum.  Does he like the mindset in pre-game skate this morning? What is he seeing from his improved play on the road? Status of Ladd/Stafford?  Does he want his team to be on eggshells today?

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.
