Winnipeg Free Press: Little, Hellebuyck lead the way for Jets in 1-0 win over Penguins. (Paywall). The Jets had a lot of players step up in last night’s contest.

Winnipeg Free Press: Hellebuyck holds off all challenges. Names like Crosby, Malkin, Kessel and many more were unable to slide a puck past Hellebuyck who was stellar in his first career NHL shutout.

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.
