Jets news:

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.

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.
