Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets hold their nerve.  The 3rd period was certainly something as the Jets and Connor Hellebuyck specifically held on for their lives to claim victory over their divisional rival.  Ken recaps the contest.

Winnipeg Sun:  Hellebuyck and Dubnyk form bond.  Interesting to read about the way these two had a relationship that allowed the young Jets netminder to learn some important lessons he has clearly carried into the season.  Ken also wrote about Kyle Connor and Shawn Matthias in this article.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets spook-tacular in St. Paul with 2-1 road win over Wild.  (Paywall).  While the possession numbers were in the Jets favour, especially in the 3rd as you might expect, the end result was the Jets left Minnesota with two more points added to the standings bank.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Kyle Connor makes his mark during latest call-up.  (Paywall).  He took his assignment to the Moose in stride, contributed down in the AHL and quickly found himself back up with the big club and on the top line.  

Sportsnet:  Connor Hellebuyck, Jets continue roll with narrow win against Wild.  The Jets netminder runs his record to 6-0-1 and his numbers have been really solid to start off the season.
