Jets news:
TSN: Insider Trading (video). This doozy quote “The belief is Trouba doesn’t see a fit in Canada” from TSN hockey insider Darren Dreger about Jacob Trouba’s thoughts on playing for Winnipeg (or any other Canadian team I gather) via NHL GMs who said that there has been interest from other Canadian teams. This won’t make folks around these parts very happy. (Starts at 2 minute mark).
The Hockey News: More Jets losses might fast-track a Jacob Trouba deal. Our readers seem to think that a trade is least likely of the possible scenarios (vote in the poll now) facing the Jets with their young RFA defenceman.
Winnipeg Sun: Big minutes for Big Buff. If they keep this up his minutes could equal his jersey number although coach Maurice has indicated that he will be trying to reduce the minutes he has big #33 playing on a nightly basis.
Winnipeg Free Press: Jets looking to even series against Stars. (Paywall). Importance of the two points on the line cannot be overstated.
TSN: Jets put new recovery plan into action amid gruelling stretch. It will be very interesting to see how the Jets do, both in terms of on-ice success as well as health of players.
