Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Jets shuffle deck in wake of Lowry injury as they prepare for Hurricanes. It will be interesting to see how these guys handle a very difficult Carolina team. Especially one that has been so good at home.

The Athletic Winnipeg: 1-on-1 with Laurent Brossoit: ‘You just have to be realistic to keep your sanity’. (Paywall). Murat had a chance to go 1 on 1 with the Jets backup netminder.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
