Jets (and prospective Jets) @ World Championship games:

Alexander Burmistrov (Russia) take on Kaz.  (Russia won.  No points for Burmistrov).

Mark Scheifele (Canada) take on Hungary.  (Canada won.  Scheifele had one goal and one assist).

Nikolaj Ehlers (Denmark) plays Sweden.  (Denmark lost.  Ehlers had one goal).

Marko Dano (Slovakia) against France.  (Slovakia won.  Dano had no points).

Patrik Laine (Finland) plays Germany.  (Finland won.  Laine had two goals and one assist).

Jets news:

TSN:  Laine looking to make case to to be number one pick.  (video).   Patrik Laine has impressed at every level of competition. With two goals already at the World Hockey Championship he hopes to make life difficult for Toronto Maple Leafs GM Lou Lamoriello come draft day. 

IIHF:  Debut for the ages for Laine.  Jets fans will like this column.

Sportsnet:  A look at Auston Matthews’ two-goal game at the World Championship.  While the expectation is the Leafs will select him first overall there is always a chance (maybe less than 1%) that they go with Laine and then Winnipeg would take the Arizona product.  And from the look of his first goal he appears to have some nice chemistry with Jets top pick from last year Kyle Connor.

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.
