Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  The Jets return to the ice following their five day bye week.  They will practice at the MTS Centre at 11 am as they get back into the swing of things and try to get back into the playoff race.  They will face the evolving Minnesota Wild tomorrow night at the MTS Centre as they get ready to kick off six games at home.  The Jets will likely get reinforcements back from the Moose (they sent down Tanev and Melchiori for the bye week) and could also get back Drew Stafford, Marko Dano, Andrew Copp.  Update:  A look at the Jets practice including line rushes and D pairs.

Note II:  The Moose swept both games they played against the Rampage this weekend as Eric Comrie made 70 of 74 saves, Kyle Connor had his first professional hat trick and the big scorers broke out of some slumps.  The team travels to Illinois today as they get ready to play Rockford on Tuesday night.  They will be be gone for a week for this four game road trip.

Jets news:

Sportsnet:  Jets are Canada’s most confounding team at trade deadline.  Well it appears that Enstrom is actually ahead of schedule based on today’s D pairs at practice but there are still plenty of question marks ahead of Wednesday’s trade deadline.

Metro News:  Trade Deadline speculation.  A look at what the Jets may or may not do ahead of the Wednesday trade deadline.  Ez also took a look at what the Jets may do (or won’t do) at the trade deadline for us last week and in case you missed it you can read his article here.

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets face long road to stay in contention.  It won’t be easy but the Jets knew losing games in November and December would necessitate a big push at the end of the season and that is exactly where this team finds itself.  The good news is before the break they were playing their best hockey of the season and had gone on a 3-0-2 run.  Can they keep it rolling and will it be enough?  Stay tuned to find out.
