Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun:  Five keys to a Jets victory. Ken’s list includes: 1) Can Pavelec keep it going? 2) Take 9 for three in a row. 3) Powerfull stuff. 4) Byfuglien finding his groove. 5) Containing the two-headed monster. And his big matchup is Mark Scheifele vs Ryan Kesler.

Winnipeg Sun:  Perreault rounding back into formHe is playing the way they anticipated he would when they signed him to an extension this past summer.  Ken has more on how he is starting to feel like the 85 of old.

Winnipeg Sun:  Laine clears another hurdleFans were ecstatic to see him rocking a normal uniform in practice uniform and while it may be a game or two before he is fully back in the lineup it won’t be long before we see that slap shot instilling fear in opposition netminders.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Pavelec focused on the present.  (Paywall).  Based on the situation it makes sense that the current Jets netminder isn’t looking too far past his next start.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Laine could play this week.  (Paywall).  Fans were clearly overjoyed (based on the reaction on twitter) to the news that he should be back in the lineup sometime this week.

Orange County Register:  Gibson’s injury likely won’t keep him out vs. Winnipeg.  Help to gain some insight into the Jets opposition tonight from team beat writer Eric Stephens.

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.
