Note II:  After last night’s game in Minnesota which saw the Jets lose 5-1 to the Wild for the fifth time this season the team held a closed door, player only meeting and then took off for Colorado.  Today the Jets were scheduled to practice but will instead have a team meeting as they get ready to take on the Avalanche tomorrow night in Denver.

Note III: The Moose kicked off the final homestand of the regular season last night with a massive 3-1 win against the Condors.  The win moved Manitoba back into a playoff spot and they are now just three points back of the 3rd spot (with one game in hand on Iowa).  Today they have a re-match with Bakersfield with a 7 pm puck drop at Bell MTS Place.

Note IV:  Following the Moose broadcast tune in for two hours of hockey talk via NHL This Week on TSN 1290 Winnipeg.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun:  Jets go quietly, fall to 0-5 vs. Wild this season.  Ken takes a look at the game from inside Xcel Energy Center.

Minneapolis Star-Tribune: Wild crushes Jets, but playoff chase ends. Read about the game from the perspective of a writer that covers Minnesota.

Pioneer Press: Wild come away with a big win and big letdown.  More insight into the Jets opposition.

Sportsnet: Tanev leaves game vs. Wild with upper-body injury. Coach Maurice didn’t exactly offer much clarity in his post-game comments. Quite the slash from Staal in the opening period of play.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Wild continue regular-season dominance over Jets with 5-1 win.  (Paywall).  Seems shocking that the Jets have been unable to pick up a W when they play their division rival.  Mike recaps the action from his spot in St. Paul.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Roslovic’s resolve-testing roller-coaster season currently on high point.  (Paywall).  Always going to be highs and lows for a young player playing on the big stage.  Mike has more on the young prospect.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Trouba proves value with solid season on Jets’ wounded blue line.  (Paywall).  And Mike wrote this before his shorthanded tally last night.

Global News:  Laine evolves from sublime scorer to all-around player.  Still plenty of development to go for the Jets sniper but he is young so there is plenty of time to continue his development.
