Note: The Jets held their skills competition last night which entertained thousands of Manitobans before the team gets focused on a home and home series coming up with the Wild. It starts tomorrow in Winnipeg and concludes on Sunday in St. Paul. The Jets will practice today at 11 AM CST so stay tuned for the Practice Report.

Note II: The Moose hit the ice on Thursday for practice as they prepared to host the Texas Stars for a weekend set to conclude the 2023 calendar. Puck drop tonight is at 7 PM CST.

Jets news:

Winnipeg Sun: Winnipeg Jets’ 2023 a sportswriter’s dream. There certainly has not been a lack of headlines surrounding the NHL club of Winnipeg during the last year that much is for sure. Paul keys in on 1) Mark Scheifele’s turnaround. 2) Twin extensions for 55 and 37. 3) Buyout of Blake Wheeler. 4) Trading Pierre-Luc Dubois. 5) Attendance woes.

Winnipeg Free Press: Savvy Chevy proves he’s among best in the business. (Paywall). Mike’s focus when it comes to the achievements of the Jets GM include: 1) Shrewd trade deadline additions. 2) Dealing Pierre-Luc Dubois for a Kings ransom. 3) Buying out Blake Wheeler. 4) Contract extensions for Scheifele/Hellebuyck. 5) Quick look ahead at how they might try to augment this group.

The Athletic Winnipeg: Analyzing the Winnipeg Jets’ power-play issues: Faceoffs, entries and setups. (Paywall). Excellent goaltending, great 5 on 5 numbers but a 24th ranked power play (not to mention the 26th ranked penalty kill) has folks wondering how can a team like Winnipeg have such poor special teams. Murat spent some time and a lot of words to give you his thoughts/insight into what’s going wrong and what can be improved.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
