Winnipeg Sun: Another dark Olympic day for Jets’ Mark Scheifele. Paul wrote about yesterday’s news that Sam Bennett, not Mark Scheifele, was the player added to the Canadian Olympic roster to replace Anthony Cirelli.

Winnipeg Free Press: High climb in standings still needed for Jets. (Paywall). So you’re saying there’s a chance. Sure but it’s under 5%.
