Jets news:
Winnipeg Sun: Jets expect high-intensity, playoff-like action in showdown with first-place Leafs. It isn’t a three-game mini series but two straight in a battle for top spot with two teams coming off bad losses should make for some interesting hockey.
Winnipeg Sun: Jets still trying to find the right fit for underwhelming Dubois. With the fact that the top three teams in the North seem to be set the stretch run to the post-season seems like the time to get this all sorted out.
