Jets news:
Winnipeg Sun: Jets vs Red Wings keys to the game. Paul starts off with his big matchup between Connor Hellebuyck vs Jimmy Howard. His five keys to the game include: 1) Staying patient. 2) The power play. 3) Score three. 4) Pretend it’s the Preds. 5) The opening 20.
Winnipeg Sun: Fragile or focused — still things to learn about Hellebuyck. The Jets top netminder doesn’t like to dwell on past games and does have a tendency to want to look forward not behind.
Winnipeg Free Press: Hellebuyck ‘focussing on next’ game after Nashville stinker. (Paywall). No point in lamenting the past provided you’ve learned from your mistakes.
Winnipeg Free Press: Roslovic feeling more comfortable with big club. (Paywall). No question the young prospect has looked more and more comfortable as he gets to play more and more games up with the Jets.
