Note:  Tonight, the NHL will announce the winners of the Hart, Calder, Lindsay, Vezina, and Norris trophies ahead of Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final.  Obviously, Jets fans will be paying close attention to the Vezina as Connor Hellebuyck is expected to take home the hardware.  The Awards begin at 5:30 p.m. CT.

Jets news:

TSN:  An early Canadian Expansion Draft primer I’m fairly certain the Jets would be protecting Tucker Poolman over Logan Stanley.  If anything I suspect it would more likely look like Sami Niku or Tucker Poolman.  I also don’t think the Jets are inclined to expose Adam Lowry given the absence of centre depth on this team.  

The Athletic Winnipeg:  Status update on Jets top prospects: The risers, fallers and mysteries.  (Paywall).  Murat provides an update on those players playing overseas (or looking to play overseas).

Winnipeg Free Press:  Hellebuyck on verge of Vezina.  (Paywall).  There is no doubt what the Jets netminder was able to accomplish this season and it made him a very worthwhile candidate to take home the Vezina trophy.

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.
