Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers

Note: The Jets went into the City of Brotherly Love and cruised to a 5-2 win over the Flyers. Lots of contributors but Mark Scheifele picked up his fourth and fifth goals of the season. Also notable continues to be the play of Morgan Barron who picked up his third goal of the season. The Jets are travelling back to Winnipeg today.
