Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Jets Snapshots. Couple of topics touched on by Scott including: 1) To watch the standings, or not to watch? 2) Jets power play on fire. 3) Coach saw this coming for Connor. 4) Scheifele a video star. 5) Team still not quite playing a full 60.

Winnipeg Free Press: Inspired by late father’s words, Jets defenceman Josh Morrissey reaching new heights. (Paywall). He has a level of maturity well beyond his years. His attitude is inspiring, and he has clearly embraced the challenges this season.  

Winnipeg Free Press: Scheifele’s praise for Bowness suggests reasons for rift with Maurice. There certainly seemed to be a lot said without a lot being said. At the same time it now qualifies as old news given the Jets and Panthers are done until late March.
