NHL .com:  Jets unfazed by trade deadline.  No real point of getting worked up about something that is completely outside of your realm of control.

Winnipeg Sun:  Five keys to Jets vs Panthers.  Paul’s big matchup is James Reimer vs Connor Hellebuyck.  His five keys include: 1) Fatigue. 2) Special teams. 3) Home, sweet home. 4) No complacency. 5) Shut down the big guns.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Jets penalty killing third-best in the league.  (Paywall).  Considering they had one of the worst penalty kills in the league last season (26th) not too shabby an improvement.
