Winnipeg Free Press:    Jets must shake back-to-back bluesThere is no time like the present as they say and tonight would be a huge game for the Jets to prove they can master these all important 2nd games.  Both the Jets and Bruins are playing 3 games in 4 nights, although the B’s had their night off yesterday.

TSN:  Jets face Bruins to open lengthy home stretchWinnipeg is looking to duplicate their December home stretch success, and it starts tonight against the defending Stanley Cup champs.

Illegal Curve:  Coach Noel Press ConferenceByfuglien’s play of late.  Management of his game.  Talking about the Bruins.  (good joke to start his response).  Back-to-back situation.  Using 4 lines more often.  Taking next step.  Change in Wheeler’s game.  Play of Antropov.  Impact of the Jets fans at the Excel Energy Center last night.  Trying to throw Burmistrov & Kane on the ice as much as possible.  Kane’s play compliments Burmistrov.
