Note: The Jets held their second straight day of practice on Friday as they got ready to face the Canucks tonight.  We also learned on Friday that Tucker Poolman was no longer on the NHL’s CPRA list. The Jets are scheduled to skate today at 10:30 AM CT so stay tuned for the pre-game report to find out the latest news.

Note II: Another day of Manitoba Moose training camp continues today.

Note III: Join us for three hours of Jets and NHL talk on Illegal Curve Hockey Show on TSN 1290 Winnipeg this morning starting at 9:00 a.m. CT. Today’s guests on the show include: Jason Bell (Winnipeg Free Press), Daniel Fink (Manitoba Moose), Mike Zeisberger (NHL.com), Patrick Johnston (Vancouver Sun) and Hailey Salvian (The Athletic Calgary). You can listen to the show here.

Jets news:

The Athletic Winnipeg: Murat’s Mailbag. (Paywall). Expectations for Pierre-Luc Dubois? A toxic dressing room? Expansion-draft protections? 

Sportsnet: Hellebuyck maintaining steady, Zen calmness under Vezina microscope. The Jets netminder seems to be in a good zone this season.

Winnipeg Sun: Now the rubber hits the road’: Jets Wheeler says prelims are over.  The Jets have put themselves into a good position but they have a big stretch coming up.

Winnipeg Sun: Game Night Jets vs Canucks. In advance of the game get set up.

Winnipeg Free Press: Stastny’s still got it. (Paywall). The veteran centre has come into his own since the “second” line got put together.

Winnipeg Free Press: Hellebuyck driven by confidence. (Paywall). No shortage of that from number 37.

Jets audio:

TSN 1290 Winnipeg: Ray Ferraro on The Afternoon Ride. TSN Hockey Analyst Ray Ferraro joined Andrew “Hustler” Paterson and Rick Ralph on the Afternoon Ride. They discussed the Jets trade with Columbus involving Patrik Laine and Pierre Luc Dubois, if the Dubois acquisition makes the Jets a better team, why he thinks the Jets have the top 9 forwards in Canada and Vancouver’s season so far ahead of Saturday’ game in Winnipeg.

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.
