Jets news:
TSN: A statistical look at the Flames vs. Jets play-in series. I was thinking that’s bold as I read his prediction of “Winnipeg in four” until I remembered that the play-in series is a best of five. Good read from Yost as he breaks down the two squads.
The Athletic Winnipeg: From No. 1 to No. 32, a ranking of Winnipeg Jets in order of playoff importance. (Paywall). Not hard to pick out the most important player on the list. But Murat doesn’t just look at one. He lists 32 players in order of importance. When I did this exercise last month I used 28 as the number of skaters the Jets would have at training camp. Here is my list of 28 skaters which also includes Moose head coach Pascal Vincent who will be taking the spot of former Jets assistant coach Todd Woodcroft who left the Jets for the University of Vermont.

PDO Podcast: Jets vs Predators 2018 Rewatch. Murat Ates joined the show to discuss the heavyweight tilt between the number one seed Nashville Predators and number two seed Winnipeg Jets in the 2018 postseason, how the wild back-and-forth nature of Game 3 perfectly captured what made the entire series so special, and how much both teams have changed in such a short period of time since.
