Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun:  Morrissey, Hutchinson come through.  The rookie and not often used backup were both integral to yesterday’s win.  Ken breaks it all down.

Winnipeg Sun:  Strait makes positive contribution with Jets.  Had to be nice to make the jump from the AHL to the NHL for the veteran defenceman and to contribute on the game winning goal.

Globe and Mail:  Josh Morrissey scores late, Jets hold on to beat Wild after blowing lead.  The rookie has been earning some tremendous praise from his coach as well as his fellow players, including captain Blake Wheeler who was effusive in his praise of the rookie defender.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets’ Morrissey, Strait make boffo blue-line pair.  (Paywall).  The Jets patchwork defence was put to the test.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets win Wild game.  (Paywall).  If at first you don’t succeed, try try again.  Or in this case try, try, try, try and then on the fifth time get it done.  Jason breaks down the game.  

Minneapolis Star-Tribune:  Despite furious rally, Wild falls to Jets 5-4.  Recap of the game from the perspective of a writer who covers the Wild.
