Winnipeg Sun: Morrissey’s status hangs over Jets’ matchup with Ducks. We obviously didn’t get anything in our media availability with assistant coach Davis Payne on Thursday so we will have to wait and see if they have made a recall from the Moose.
Winnipeg Free Press: Bjorck banking on patience that first NHL point will come. (Paywall). The kid has made some very nice plays and had some very good looks. It really seems like it’s simply a matter of when he gets his first point.
Winnipeg Free Press: Get to know your Jet: Mario Ferraro. (Paywall). Mike has a fun new feature which introduces you to players but from a non-hockey angle.
CTV News: Meet the Manitoban behind the designs of Stuart Skinner’s new goalie masks. Interesting to see the local connections and to learn about this process.

Sportsnet: 32 Thoughts Podcast – On the Winnipeg Jets jetting out of the starting gates. In this edition of 32 Thoughts, Kyle Bukauskas and Elliotte Friedman begin the podcast by talking about the most impressive Canadian team to start the NHL season. They spend about ten minutes talking about the Jets this morning. Other than the assessment of what Winnipeg has done so far and their motivation (us against the world). Friedman does speculate about the future of Nino Niederreiter. He does wonder if because the veteran cannot get into the lineup, and because he is in a contract year, if he may wanna go somewhere else.
