Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun:  Second half starts with visit from Kane and Sabres.  Ken provides you his insight ahead of tonight’s game action.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets not taking second-last place Sabres lightly.  (Paywall).  Considering their lack of success against Buffalo the last few years that is probably a good thing although obviously it is a completely different Jets team this season.  The biggest factor is that the Sabres got embarrassed by the Wild last night and will be amped up to put forth a better effort tonight.
