Winnipeg Sun:  Flames burn Jets.  Ken writes about last night’s less than exciting loss to Calgary.

TSN:  Bogosian injured in Jets loss to Flames.  It happened in the 2nd period of the game in a play with Flames rookie Sam Bennett.  Much to Jets fans chagrin it was reported that Bogosian wouldn’t return for the 3rd period.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets trying to take the next step.  Ken examines whether this could be the year the Jets finally make the playoffs.   A longer read but well worth it.

Coach Maurice post-game:  Thoughts on the game.  Simply pre-season hockey?  Thoughts on Hutchinson’s play?  What can he say about Zach Bogosian’s status?  Is he going to press his team if he wasn’t impressed with the effort?
