Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Kyle Connor scores hat trick, joins league goal leaders, as Jets win third straight. Remarkable season for the Michigan Man who had 31 last season (has two goals in his first 13 games) and this season is now on pace for close to 70 (11 goals in his first 13 games). 

Winnipeg Sun: Individual feats sit second to Jets team play. With hockey being “the ultimate team game” the suspension of individual accomplishments for the greater good is pretty much the mantra for most clubs.

Winnipeg Sun: Jets’ Rasmus Kupari hopes goals are like snow and cold in Winnipeg: Inevitable. He is doing a lot of things right but he will have to start converting on some of his chances. Just like last night we saw him put himself in the right place at the right time but he just couldn’t get it to go.

Winnipeg Free Press: Kyle Connor hat trick powers Jets past Predators 6-3. (Paywall). On a night dedicated to their AHL club the alumni of the Manitoba Moose lead Winnipeg to a victory over the Predators as the Jets picked up their third straight win.

Winnipeg Free Press: Timing everything for Trotz. (Paywall). Ken had a chance to catch up with the Dauphin, Manitoba product which included his thoughts on not taking the job in Winnipeg.

Global News: Connor’s hat trick lifts Jets to 6-3 win over Predators. Another recap of last night’s game.

The Tennessean: Forsberg scores two goals but Connor’s hat trick too much for Predators. Always good to gain some insight into the game from a writer who covers the Jets opponent.
