Jets news:

Sportsnet:  As the Jets’ defence and goaltending improves, what’s their weakness?  Right now it is all coming up Millhouse for this Winnipeg team.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Laine looking to shift into a higher gear.  (Paywall).   He is talking confidence again which means he is likely due for another five to seven game goal scoring streak.    

Winnipeg Sun:  Laine looking for confidence: Jets look to avenge loss to Golden Knights.  Ken sets things up for tonight’s re-match with Vegas.

theScore:  It’s time to give Cheveldayoff some credit for Jets’ success.  Much like his team following a win I suspect the Jets GM isn’t patting himself on the back just yet as a good record in November won’t be remembered come June.

TSN:  Surprised by Laine’s ‘confidence’ comments?  Sara Orlesky and Ken Wiebe recap the Jets’ strong month of November, discuss Patrik Laine’s comments regarding his wavering confidence and Dustin Byfuglien’s offensive struggles.

TSN: Laine confident he’ll be able to earn his minutes back.  The strength of the Jets as of late has been their secondary scoring, as they’ve had eight different players score over their last two games. One player that hasn’t found the back of the net is Patrik Laine, who once again admitted that his confidence is wavering. Sara Orlesky has the latest.
