Winnipeg Jets Afternoon Links

Note: Puck drop is at 7 pm CDT as the Jets go up against the Canucks in Winnipeg to conclude the 2023-24 regular season. After the game, be sure to check out illegalcurve.com for all the post-game reaction.

Note II: We want you to be part of the conversation on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show once the final buzzer sounds.

Note III: The Jets announced they had recalled four players from the Moose including Brad Lambert, Nikita Chibrikov, Parker Ford and goalie Collin Delia. Lambert and Chibrikov will play while Delia will back up. Ford is an option but doesn’t sound like he plays.

Jets news:

The Athletic Winnipeg: Jets player poll, part 3: Future coaches, GMs, best at cards and more. (Paywall). Murat gives you some more insight into what makes the players on this Jets team tick.

Winnipeg Sun: Winnipeg fans optimistic about potential for deep playoff run. Optimism is high in the latest poll the Sun did, especially with the Jets on a seven-game winning streak.

Winnipeg Free Press: Canadian bragging rights, Jennings Trophy on line in Jets-Canucks tilt. (Paywall). Interesting to think if Laurent Brossoit allows two goals or less the team will win the William Jennings Trophy but he hasn’t played enough games to get his name on it. (If they allow three they will share it with the Panthers).
