Jets news:

Winnipeg Free Press: Wild next up in Jets’ quest for Central Division sweep week. (Paywall).  Always a good thing when you can add wins against division rivals to the standings bank.  Mike sets up the action.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets look for first win vs Wild, expect a change of pace after high-scoring games.  Ken previews the game from his observations in St. Paul including a video chat with TSN analyst Kevin Sawyer.

Jets video:

Paul Allen has a show on KFAN in Minnesota and during select game days #VoxInTheBox broadcasts from the timekeepers booth. He posts a $100 bill on the glass and if a player gets it through the hole they get the money. Mason Appleton became the third ever player (in nine years) to do it. He joins teammate Ben Chiarot and Anze Kopitar in achieving the feat. Maybe he should have been involved in the accuracy shooting at last week’s Skills Competition.

Jets audio:
