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.
