Winnipeg Free Press: Getting the hang of it. Limiting mistakes and preying upon your opponents is what the Jets bench boss would like to see from his squad.
Winnipeg Sun: Sigh of relief from Jets win. It wasn’t the best five game home stand but it ended with an important divisional win and left fans and Dustin Byfuglien smiling.
