Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Little won’t play as Jets face Panthers.  Considering expectations were bad hearing day to day isn’t too bad.

Winnipeg Sun:  No Little could be big problem for Jets.  Hard to lose a #1 centre but Perreault will slot in and should have some good chemistry with Ehlers and Wheeler.

Miami Herald:  Injury-depleted Florida Panthers call up top prospects Mike Matheson, Kyle Rau.  Read about the game from an opposition beat writer’s perspective.

Illegal Curve:  Jets vs. Panthers projected lineups. Take a look at what the lines looked like after skate today and what combos you should expect to see at BB&T Arena this evening.

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.
