Jets news:

CBC:  5 things to watch.  Jeff examines tonight’s game and looks at 5 factors including a strong start, power play finish, Flyers captain flying high, Ladd’s lead and streak breaking.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Flyers game to confirm if Jets have found keys to success.  Nobody really knows what to expect when these two teams battle tonight.  Will it be a low scoring or high flying affair?  Personally I’m expecting a 5-4 type of game.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets ready for tilt with streaking Flyers.  Both teams will have three game winning streaks on the line when the puck drops at the MTS Centre this evening.

TSN:  Pavelec faces Mason as Jets host Flyers.  Brian breaks down the upcoming game action following practice today.

Illegal Curve:  Coach Noel pre-game presser.  Up against an equally hot team in Philly.  Injury update (Stuart – aways away.  Trouba – more than a week).  What’s Philly been doing right?  Team consistency.  What has the team done to help themselves?  Getting players not in the lineup into a game?  

Illegal Curve:  Player pre-game audio from MTS Centre.  After practice audio from Blake Wheeler, Zach Bogosian, Ondrej Pavelec and Mark Stuart.

Illegal Curve:  Game day set-up.  Ez sets up tonight’s action between Jets and Wings.
