Note: This is day 111 since the NHL hit the pause button on the 2019-20 season.

Winnipeg Free Press: Silver chalice or silver lining?  (Paywall).  While the current members of the Jets are clearly 100% focused on the pursuit of the Stanley Cup, the silver lining gives fans something positive to dream about if things don’t work out well against the Calgary Flames (or if the season doesn’t happen).  

Winnipeg Free Press:  Niku anxiously awaits teammates’ return.  (Paywall).  Jason caught up with the fleet-footed Finnish Dman who stuck around Winnipeg during the pause in the season.

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.
