Jets news:

Sportsnet: Consistency key for Jets’ Dubois to put disappointing season behind him. It wasn’t a perfect game by the Jets second line centre but his first period was excellent and will be the type of play that can win over a fan base if, as Ken suggests in his latest column, it is seen consistently.

Winnipeg Free Press: Jets blow 2-0 lead, lose 4-3 to Sharks. (Paywall). Mike was in San Jose and filed this report following last night’s contest.

The Mercury News: Game-changing moments leads to crazy season-opening win. Check out the reaction to last night’s game from a writer who covers the Jets opposition.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets’ special teams demons lead to second straight loss to start season. With the level of talent on this team the early returns (and I caution that it remains very early in the season) are not good.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets’ Dillon returns to Shark Tank, place he cut his teeth as NHLer.  Who says you can’t go home again? Based on the starting lineups reaction the bruising Dman still has a loyal following in San Jose.

The Athletic Winnipeg: Jets mailbag: Nik Ehlers’ minutes, Evgeny Svechnikov’s ceiling, Eric Comrie’s contract. (Paywall).  You had questions (a lot of questions which is why this is part 1) and Murat had answers.
