Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets left La La land with a single point after the Kings managed to tie the game and win it in OT. While they did secure a single point the team has struggled on Saturday night’s going 1-5-1 in an evening affair. The team will have a day off today before Monday’s afternoon contest in San Jose against the Sharks.

Note II: The Moose will face the Wolves in a re-match this afternoon at the MTS Centre. It will look a little unusual though as Manitoba will be wearing one of their specialty jerseys (Fire Fighter ones) in the game. Puck drops at 2 pm.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Jets fall to Kings in Overtime. Ted breaks down the game from inside the Staples Center.

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets make strides in OT loss to Kings. (Paywall). We shall see if the Jets can keep things rolling on Monday. Paul recaps the game.

L.A. Times: Kings’ Jeff Carter buries the Jets in overtime, 3-2. Always good to read about the game from the perspective of a beat writer that covers the team the Jets faced.

Sportsnet: Coach Paul Maurice ‘not in trouble’ in Winnipeg. This would seem to quash the rather rampant rumours about his demise.

Game 46: Kings 3 Jets 2 in OT:

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.
