Jets news:

Sportsnet: Happy Return: Back from injury, Dubois leads Jets to huge OT win over Predators. When Rick Bowness said in advance of the game on Saturday that if it was a playoff game there was a good chance that Pierre-Luc Dubois would play it was a good thing that 80 did in fact feel ready to return. While it was clear his timing wasn’t quite there yet after missing eight of the previous nine he was a big addition for Winnipeg.
