Winnipeg Free Press: With no top scorers on the ice, Jets slip in Edmonton. (Paywall). I don’t think fans need to hit the panic button just yet considering the composition of the squad last night.

Winnipeg Sun: Oilers spoil Jets’ night. Ken breaks down the game.

Winnipeg Sun: Chiarot has a lot of fight in him. A little seasoning in the AHL has served the young defenceman well as he has made the transition to the NHL game.

Edmonton Journal: Oilers edge out Jets with penalty shot goal. Read about the game from an Oilers beat writers perspective.

Global News: Jets acknowledge issues with obstructed views, solutions are limited. While there was generally a positive vibe with all the new developments this is one I’m sure True North would have liked to avoid.

Sportsnet: 30 Thoughts. #6 has to do with the Jets interest in Kris Versteeg.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
