Winnipeg Free Press:  Connor Hellebuyck in net tonight, Colorado’s leading scorer out.  (Paywall).  While Steve Mason was scheduled to start he is on the IR and since Connor Hellebuyck had a relatively light night on Monday it made it an easier decision for Jets coach Paul Maurice to continue to ride his hot goalie.

Mercury News:  Winnipeg could be the right trade partner for the Sharks.  Jets seem to have sufficient depth right now but with a long NHL season it is easy to churn through your players as we saw last season.  With the Jets having just been in San Jose last week it looks like folks there are still thinking about this Jets team.
