Winnipeg Sun: Jets and Flames look to regroup. Neither team was particularly enamoured with their season opening loss. Ken’s preview gets you ready for puck drop.
Winnipeg Free Press: Jaromir Jagr will sit out Flames’ home opener against Jets. (Paywall). Jason sets things up for you from Calgary.
The Athletic: Jets’ silent star, Dustin Byfuglien, has made his mark on Winnipeg without his words. (Paywall). As I said when players were announced for the home opener on Wednesday, I’m not sure there is a more popular player overall that the big man from Minnesota.
