Jets news:

Sportsnet: Why Jets’ Nikolaj Ehlers is a threat to score 40 goals this season. If he remains healthy there is no question that he could be the top goal scorer for this Jets team.

Winnipeg Sun: New-look defence has Jets’ Hellebuyck preparing for lesser role this season. While they will certainly help me things the Jets tender will still need to be a difference maker for this squad to reach the final destination.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets Snapshots. Scott wrote about: 1) NHL DoPS suspends Flames’ Coleman after boarding Jets’ Harkins Wednesday. 2) Kompon to be on bench in Anaheim. 3). Hellebuyck about to become a dad.

Winnipeg Free Press: Kompon to rejoin Jets for season opener. (Paywall). Hopefully all is well for his wife as she goes through this incredibly tough battle.

Winnipeg Free Press: Hellebuyck’s change of pace. (Paywall). Perhaps the Jets netminder will be able to use this to play. Ore games if he’s facing less rubber than he has traditionally the past few seasons.

Global News: Jets goal is to make it a ‘quieter’ season for Connor Hellebuyck. I suspect that goal was much more pressing the last few seasons but given the composition of was harder to attain. With the current cast of characters it should be much more attainable.

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.
