Jets news:
Winnipeg Free Press: Hutchinson – The Comeback Kid. From the ECHL to the NHL, he has had quite the remarkable run.
Winnipeg Sun: Jets should go back to red-hot Hutchinson for the game in Boston. I can’t see coach Maurice doing it. Not when he’s declared Pavelec his #1 goalie. Just doesn’t seem kosher. Ken makes the case for Hutchinson starting based both on performance and the connection that the goalie has to the Bruins.

Winnipeg Sun: Lowry gets off easy. Paul talks about the hit that Lowry laid on the Sabres Kaleta and how he got off relatively unscathed. His column also touches on the fact that these Jets are not Claude Noel’s Jets anymore and ends with the goalie debate.
