Note: Day 8 of Jets training camp gets underway with group 1 hitting the ice at 9:15 AM followed by group 2 at 11:15 AM. As always keep it locked here for training camp coverage. Check here for updates on the groups and interviews.

Note II: We took a look at what the Jets lines and D pairs might look like for the exhibition game on the 29th against the Canucks and the play-in series against the Flames based on how things have gone to date at training camp.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Hark the Jansen, I’ll be Ready—With apologies to Mr. Poe, the young forward doesn’t seem to be among the Jets Top 12 forwards for the play-in series against Calgary, but Harkins vows to be ready to contribute, if/when he gets an opportunity.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets are Almost at Full Health, Something Paul Maurice is Thankful For—As we discussed on Saturday’s Illegal Curve Hockey Show, Jets Training Camp 2.0 has been quite copacetic thus far.

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets’ blueline stronger than ever—. After churning through defensemen like they were making butter, it will be interesting to see if a healthy Jets defense can take some stress off Connor Hellebuyck’s shoulders.

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.
