Winnipeg Sun: Jets Gameday vs Golden KnightsPaul’s big matchup is Laurent Brossoit vs Vegas forwards. His five things to watch include: 1) Enough healthy bodies. 2) The Lowry factor. 3) Keep it simple. 4) The best players. 5) The blue line.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Time for Scheifele, stars to shine.  (Paywall).  Now Mike wrote this before 55 set up 26 for the go ahead goal in the 2nd period of last night’s game.  But the point remains that if this Jets team is gonna do anything the top players are gonna be the ones doing the majority of the heavy lifting.
