Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note:  The Jets concluded their three-games homestand last night with a big comeback win against the Coyotes as they scored four unanswered to win it 4-2.  Today they are scheduled to practice at 12 noon at Bell MTS Place before they take off for Edmonton to kick off three games on the road. Be sure to check back for the Practice Report for the latest news and audio.

Note II:  The Moose were off on Monday after they concluded a four-game homestand which saw them go 3-1-0-0.  They’ve still got an uphill climb to a playoff spot as they sit seven back of the fourth and final spot in the Central.  They are scheduled to practice today out at the IcePlex.  They will practice again on Wednesday before they head out for six games on the road.

Winnipeg Sun: Paul Notebook. Taking a look inside Paul’s notes includes: 1) Jets keep distance from media as fears mount over coronavirus. 2) Lowry’s return makes for best lineup yet. 3) walking playoff tightrope fine for this bunch.

Winnipeg Free Press: Kersplat! Lowry’s back. (Paywall).  I was expecting him to try and get physically engaged early after being out of the lineup since January 19th but certainly didn’t expect him to drop the gloves the way he did.

The Athletic Winnipeg: Why do Dylan DeMelo and Josh Morrissey work so well together? (Paywall).  Murat looks at some video as well as spending time dissecting with this duo just makes sense on the top pairing for Winnipeg.

TSN:  Do the Jets have what it takes to make playoffs?  (This was shot before last night’s game).  The Jets’ playoff hopes will likely come down to the very end of the season. Does the makeup of their team suggest they have the pieces to make the postseason? That’s Hockey debates.
