Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Five keys to Jets vs Avalanche. Ken’s big matchup is: Jacob Trouba and Josh Morrissey vs Nathan MacKinnon. His keys to the game include: 1) Motivated masked man. 2) No Little development. 3) More fourth-line magic. 4) Follow the leader. 5) Don’t forget Soderberg.

Winnipeg Sun: Hellebuyck for Vezina? Jets goalie has shown tremendous growth. He was recognized as the NHL First Star of the Week yesterday and his play this season has certainly gotten some people talking.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets on top of Central. This team is certainly not going to rest on their laurels simply because they are in first at this point in the season. Plenty of work still to get done.

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.
