Jets news:
Winnipeg Sun: Hellebuyck snubbed when it comes to Hart, even if he doesn’t think so. My guess is the Jets top netminder will place fourth or fifth in voting for the trophy. However seeing what Hellebuyck did for this Jets team it really is hard to see a player who was more valuable to his team. At least he should win the Vezina.
Sportsnet: Kyle Connor rounding out his game, with ‘top-10 player’ potential. There is no doubt that in the offensive zone the speedy winger is continuing to hit new levels.
Winnipeg Free Press: Shore provides faceoff grit, penalty-killing prowess. (Paywall). No flash and dash like many of his teammates but he brings a necessary element for playoff hockey.
Winnipeg Free Press: Determined Dane dismisses drought. (Paywall). With all the elements that Ehlers has added you get the sense that he will bring another level to his game when the play-in series gets going in Edmonton.
