Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  The Jets got back to their winning ways as they pounded the Wild last night 7-2 in front of a very happy crowd at Bell MTS Place.  The team was supposed to practice today but have cancelled it and will instead fly to Colorado as they prepare to face the Avalanche on Wednesday night.
