Winnipeg Sun:  Laine clears another hurdle.  Fans 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.
