Globe and Mail:  Jets enter crucial stretch of season.  Bryan Little called it a must win game and really both teams see it as such as later in the afternoon Islanders sensation John Tavares spoke about the critical importance of this evening’s contest.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets know they must get on winning roll.  With the Jets playing 9 of the next 10 games at the MTS Centre, this team can no longer afford to win 1 lose 1 or even win 2 lose 1.  They need a serious streak to vault themselves back into contention for the post-season.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets need more A games.  The coach constantly references the idea that when an opportunity presents itself (i.e. Burmistrov being promoted to play with Kane & Wellwood) that it is the players responsibility to seize same.

TSN:  Pavelec to start against Islanders.  The Jets are going to be looking to harness some Pavelctricty in tonight’s game between the 10th place Jets and 13th place Islanders.
