Jets news:
Winnipeg Sun: Playing with Jets has been more than Kulikov hoped for. This relationship started off slowly but he has become a big part of the squad on the back end.
Winnipeg Free Press: After winning weekend, Jets looking to reel in Sharks. (Paywall). Both teams have won once at home and the Jets are looking to keep their winning streak alive during their California road trip. Mike looks ahead to tonight’s game.
Winnipeg Sun: Sharks players apologetic for making disparaging comments about Winnipeg. Count me as someone who wishes the players would have stuck to their guns and said “I’m not sorry”. While I’m somewhat kidding the reality is what else are they going to say at this point? My preference would have been nothing since I think it is a non-story but if you’d like to read what the players in question said today here you go.
San Jose Mercury News: Three things to know. A look ahead to tonight’s game from someone who covers the Jets opposition (and also happens to be a former Winnipegger) in Paul Gackle including: 1) Winnipeg Jets share their opinions of San Jose. 2) Ehlers and Timo Meier formed a potent one-two punch in junior hockey. 3) Aaron Dell will get his third start in four nights.
Yahoo Sports: Jets reaping rewards after buying into team defense. No doubt that a health D corp this season has certainly helped the Jets make a big jump in the standings as well as a general buy in from the team as a whole of the importance of playing a full 200 ft game.
