Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun:  Poolman may prove coach wrong.  The North Dakota product has not looked out of place in the Jets lineup and is certainly making it more difficult for the Winnipeg coaching staff.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets taking police-by-committee approach this season.  (Paywall).  With no Chris Thorburn or Anthony Peluso in the lineup this season for Winnipeg the need to look out for each other will have to be done by a number of different players on this squad.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Perreault scratched from game to welcome baby.  (Paywall).  There was concern when 85 wasn’t seen taking the warm-up on Monday that there had been a problem with his health but turns out the Jets forward was simply welcoming a new member of his family to the world.

Sportingnews:  Playstation at the heart of chemistry between Jets’ Patrik Laine and Nikolaj Ehlers?  Maybe it is or perhaps it is simply skill but either way fans around these parts love watching what these two can accomplish on the ice, whether they are together or split up.

Sportsnet:  One remaining training camp question for each Canadian NHL team.  The Jets questions is whether or not Kyle Connor or Tucker Poolman will make the Jets out of the pre-season.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Does the team have goaltenders that can get them into the playoffs?  (Paywall).  Free Press sports editor Steve Lyons and columnist Paul Wiecek discuss the Jets pre-season and examine whether the team has the goaltending to get them to the playoffs.

Moose news:

Winnipeg Free Press:  Flood returns to Manitoba for shot at Moose lineup.  (Paywall).  When I saw his name on the list of players who were at Moose camp it brought me back a few years.  Mike caught up with the former Moose 1.0, Jets and IceCaps defenceman.
