Winnipeg Sun:  Cormier called upA little sandpaper for the Jets lineup as a healthy Cormier will add some toughness to this Jets team.

Winnipeg Sun:  Where it all went wrong for JetsThere are a number of games that you could point to and say the Jets should have had that game.  The Flyers game where Simmonds scored with 10.8 seconds to go and the 0-0 Capitals game which Ovechkin ended with a 3rd period goal with 1:14 left stick out in my mind.
