Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun:  Trouba reunited with Morrissey after missing five games with concussion.  Team will be happy to have their shut down pair back together again.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Hellebuyck, not Wheels, Jets’ true MVP.  (Paywall).  Making the case that it is the Jets netminder not the captain most deserving of this recognition.  My suspicion is neither player will lose sleep over it.

The Athletic Winnipeg:  Is it the Maple Leafs or Jets as Canada’s best team?  (Paywall).  Murat looks into this burning question that I suspect most of Canada (outside Manitoba and Ontario) doesn’t really care about.
