Jets news:

The Hockey News:  Ville Heinola deserves a longer look in the NHL: agent. Unfortunately for Heinola he is a victim of his waiver exempt status right now. As is 2018 5th rounder Declan Chishom. Two very good left side guys who are champing at the bit for an NHL shot. Jacob spoke to Heinola’s agent to get his insight into his player.

Montreal Gazette: Canadiens at Jets — Five things you should know. Always interesting to read coverage of the Jets opponent.

Montreal Gazette: Robertson, Lu covering Canadiens from the other side. It is somewhat funny that Winnipeg snagged the duo from Montreal. Pretty clear how much respect the pair garners from their former colleagues in Montreal.

The Hockey News: Growing the game – a look at the Jets Filipino Heritage jersey. Nice way to pay homage to the large community here in Winnipeg.
