The Athletic Winnipeg: Connor Hellebuyck, Jets’ new-look defence and 9.1 takeaways from the season-opening loss. Murat is in California and he offers up these thoughts from the first game of the season.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets’ Perfetti plays solid, smart, earns plenty of praise after first NHL game. While it is a nice story the prospect is better served playing big minutes with a very good Moose team. 

Winnipeg Free Press: Ducks beat Jets at their own game. (Paywall). Mike was in Anaheim and gives you his insight on the game. 

Winnipeg Free Press: Proud moment for Perfetti’s parents. (Paywall). Pretty incredible for them to be able to witness their son’s debut live and in person. 

Sportsnet: With Jets hamstrung by special teams, Gibson outduels Hellebuyck in opener. Memo to Jets, if your special teams isn’t optimal stop taking penalties.

TSN: Bardown Breakdown  – Are the Jets legitimate Stanley Cup contendersTo say Jesse Pollock is excited for the Jets season would be an understatement, but his Stanley Cup dreams may not be that far fetched. Craig Button and Mike Johnson try to settle him down with reasonable expectations for Winnipeg, while Corwin McCallum pushes back on some of their additions that some might call “salary dumps” by other teams.
