Jets news:
Winnipeg Sun: Time for action? Roslovic will show Jets when he’s ready. He was one of the best players in the AHL for 2016-17 and into 2017-18 before getting recalled to the Jets when Mark Scheifele was injured last December. Do we see him flip spots with Bryan Little sooner rather than later?
