Winnipeg Jets playoff media availability ahead of 2nd round

With the series against the Oilers now yesterday’s news (although there was actually quite a bit of news today) the Jets are back at MTS Place for a media availability this morning. Considering they played four games as well as five OT periods in the last week makes sense that they didn’t practice today.

4) Offsetting the doubt from the outside.
5) The impressiveness of Darnell Nurse.
6) Sleep science.
7) Why not use the 4th line in OT?
8) Importance of a captain in the playoffs.
9) How did the 4th line contribute off the ice?

Up next:
