Winnipeg Jets Morning Papers: Today’s Hockey Headlines | Feb 21, 2026

Note: The Jets are back on the ice today as they continue to ramp up ahead of their first game back after the Olympics.

Note II: The Moose return to action as they get set to face the Wild this afternoon in Winnipeg.

Note III: Last night Jets prospect Kieron Walton (2024 6th) got his 36th goal of the season along with two assists in a Peterborough win. Was named 1st Star of the Game. He’s up to 75 points (36G 39A) in 50 games which puts him Top 5 in the league for points.

Jets news:

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. 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.
