Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

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

Note: The Jets picked up another victory on Saturday as they’ve won two straight and five of their last six games after Saturday afternoon’s 4-0 shutout over the Hawks. Of course it wasn’t all good last evening with a somewhat of an update following the game whereby head coach Rick Bowness indicated that he doesn’t expect Nikolaj Ehlers to practice on Monday. They are off today.

Note II: The Moose practiced yesterday morning as they look for a measure of revenge against the Stars. They will get that chance this afternoon with a 2 PM puck drop.

Note IV: Make it 10 in a row for the Winnipeg Ice as they defeated the Tri-City Americans 5-4 last night. They are 15-1-0-0 on the season which puts them 2nd in the east behind Red Deer who are 15-0-0-0. And they face off vs the Rebels on Tues/Wed. Should be a doozy.

Note V: With the calendar flipping from October to November it means more chances to win authentic Winnipeg Jets gear (jerseys, hats & shirts). Enter here.

Winnipeg Sun: ‘I got back to my core’: Jets’ Hellebuyck got back to Vezina form by finding the fun again. Stella got her groove back and Connor Hellebuyck has got his form back.
