Jets news:
Winnipeg Sun: Jets looking to regroup. That panic button seems a lot closer to being hit after a second straight loss from a fan base that hoped for anything but this out of the gate.
Winnipeg Sun: Things to watch in Jets vs Oilers. Ken’s big matchup is Mark Scheifele vs Connor McDavid. His keys to the game include: 1) Fresh start. 2) Handling the momentum swings. 3) Staying on point. 4) Sharpen up. 5) Staying hungry.
Winnipeg Free Press: Keeping a level head key to Jets’ success this season, says Little. (Paywall). From the coaches to the players they have spoken about not allowing panic to set in when they give up a goal or two but we will have to see that put into play on the ice.
