Jets news:

Yahoo Sports:  Buzz the Net.  Jets 2014 1st round pick got caught looking at the puck in a Halifax game against Charlottetown.  Good news for Jets fans is he didn’t look any worse for wear following the hit and was up right away.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets may have Bogo back.  He would be a welcome addition back to the Jets defence.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Kane awaiting green light.  It was an animated Evander Kane who spoke with the media.  One who sounds ready to leave the press box and hit the ice with his teammates.

Winnipeg Sun:  Smiles all around.  Amazing what a few wins in a row can do to help a team move forward.

Sportsnet:  NHL Power Rankings.  The Jets jump four spots although when you are near the bottom that isn’t super impressive although it is better than the alternative.

Illegal Curve:  Coach Maurice scrum (audio).  An update on Bogosian/Kane.  Importance of practices for Kane.  What do two wins do for confidence?  Do the peaks and valleys become less pronounced?  Impact of Michael Frolik.  Thoughts on New Jersey.  Would he like to get Hutchinson in one of next three games?

Illegal Curve:  Evander Kane update (audio).   The Jets winger was looking good at yesterday’s practice and said he feels ready to play.  Now it’s up to the medical team to give him the ‘all clear’.

TSN 1290 Winnipeg:  The Big Show (audio).  Paul Edmonds says a big reason for Postma’s strong play has been confidence from his head coach.
