NHL.com: 5 questions for Jets in Stanley Cup Qualifiers. Tim Campbell’s five questions: 1) How quickly can goalie Connor Hellebuyck regain top form? 2) How healthy are they? 3) Will special teams make a difference? 4) Can their top forwards carry them? 5) With health and depth, how good can their defensemen be?

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
