Note: The Jets are back in business after a holiday break and will face the Edmonton Oilers who are riding a four-game winning streak. Check the Winnipeg Jets pre-game report for any lineup changes.

Note II: The Moose are back in action this coming weekend as they play host to the San Jose Barracuda as they look to keep the good times rolling as they sit atop the AHL standings.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Five keys to Jets vs. Oilers. Ken’s big matchup is Connor Hellebuyck vs Cam Talbot. His keys to the game are: 1) Find comfiort. 2) Get Scheifele going. 3) Containing Connor McDavid. 4) Checking-line plus. 5) The Finnish connection.

Winnipeg Sun: Tests will continue to ramp up for Jets. It certainly won’t get any easier as the Jets schedule isn’t going to allow them to coast to the playoffs.

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets’ approach to video review contributed to strong first-half record. (Paywall). An interesting topic that Mike looks into as the Jets have turned this into an asset this season.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
