Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Your source for all the latest Jets and Moose news, video and audio.

Note: The Jets did the improbable last night scoring three goals in three minutes and three seconds in the 3rd period to tie the game and then won it in overtime to improve their lead in the series with the Oilers to 3-0. Neither team will get to really think about game 3 as game 4 is tonight for the rare playoff back-to-back games. No morning skate but be sure to check back for the pre-game report for potential updates as well as for the media availability from players and head coach Paul Maurice. Puck drop is at 8:45 PM CDT.
