Jets Need Defensive Reinforcements
February 11th, 2019 It's that time of the hockey season where every team brings out their wish list for the trade deadline, and much like last season, the Winnipeg Jets seem to have a need up front for a second-line center. That may not be their most pressing need, however. When the Jets dropped three straight games to the San Jose Sharks,...
Patrik Laine Isn't Going Anywhere
February 5th, 2019 Patrik Laine is all at once the Winnipeg Jets' most electrifying scorer, and their most frustrating. When he's on, he's seemingly unstoppable. When he hits a cold streak, he's basically invisible. So, with Laine mired in another slump, one of the lows that have come to contrast the highs of his career, it's no surprise some...

The Winnipeg White Out in the playoffs drew national attention and became nearly as big a story as the playoff run itself. The decibel meter rose...
Byfuglien Remains Key to Jets Success
December 15th, 2018 It's not easy for Dustin Byfuglien to sneak under the radar on that Winnipeg Jets blue line. After all, he's 6-foot-5 and about 260 pounds. Yet, at the start of 2018-19, he had moved out of mind a bit for some observers. Fast forward to December and Byfuglien is firmly back in the conversation for best defenseman on the Jets. He's on...
