Injuries Continue to Plague Jets Seven Wounded Players Missed Saturday's Game Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/injuries-continue-to-keep-jets-in-sick- bay-476497963.html?k=QAPMqC Injuries continue to plague Jets Seven wounded players missed Saturday's game By: Mike McIntyre WASHINGTON — Is there a doctor in the house? It’s been a common refrain for the Winnipeg Jets lately, as they just can’t seem to get close to a full, healthy lineup. Seven players were out due to injury in Saturday’s 2-1 loss in Philadelphia. Here’s what we know about all of them, with further updates expected today as the Jets return to action with a morning skate and then their game in Washington against the Capitals. Mark Scheifele has missed two games with a suspected shoulder injury, and there will be no rushing him back into action. He’s considered day-to-day at this point, and coach Paul Maurice had said last week he was a possibility to play either tonight, or tomorrow in Nashville. But don’t bet on it. Defenceman Toby Enstrom is battling a lower-body issue which kept him out for four games, saw him return in New Jersey last Thursday and then be back out on Saturday. Maurice said it’s a nagging thing that can change day-to-day, so his status is very much a question mark. Defenceman Dmitry Kulikov missed Saturday’s game after getting hurt Thursday in New Jersey. Maurice hasn’t said how long he could be out, only that it’s upper-body. Goalie Steve Mason has been sent back to Winnipeg for further testing on a lower-body injury he suffered late in the game against the New York Rangers last Tuesday, which was his first game back from his second concussion of the season. His return date is a mystery. Defenceman Jacob Trouba could be back in the lineup as early as Thursday when the Jets host Chicago. He’s been out since late January with an ankle injury but has had a few full-contact practices as he nears a return. Centre Adam Lowry, out with an upper-body injury once again, is also skating but in a non- contact jersey. Maurice was originally hopeful he could be back by early March, but that obviously hasn’t happened. The most recent update is that he could be shortly after Trouba. And finally, forward Shawn Matthias is very close to returning from an upper-body injury. However, whether he draws into the lineup remains to be seen. He’s very much just a depth option at this point. With a few other players also banged up and battling a bug going through the dressing room, it’s not a surprise that Sunday’s scheduled practice in Washington was cancelled by Maurice. East Coast travel more relaxing It’s a rare luxury for Western Conference teams, but the Winnipeg Jets have certainly been reminded over the past 10 days how East Coast travel in the NHL is much less taxing. Take this current six-game road trip. After starting it off in Raleigh, the Jets took a short flight to New York, where they essentially set up shop for four days. They bused from their hotel to games in New York and New Jersey, then took another bus for the 100-minute ride to Philadelphia. A quick flight following Saturday’s matinee against the Flyers had them in Washington by mid- evening. So they should be well rested by tonight’s game against the Capitals. Things get a bit busier as they have to fly to Nashville following tonight’s game to get ready to face the Predators tomorrow in a back-to-back — but even then they gain an hour by going into the central time zone. Back-to-back games to be split Expect Connor Hellebuyck and Michael Hutchinson to split these back-to-back games. Maurice said as much over the weekend, without revealing who would get which game. Common sense might suggest the Jets would save Hellebuyck for division rival Nashville, thus clearing the way for Hutchinson to go tonight against Washington. After all, the Jets still have hopes of catching the Predators for first place in the Central Division. Maurice will provide an update following the morning skate. Bell MTS third-best ice surface Take a bow, Winnipeg fans. When it comes to making good ice and plenty of noise, you’ve got the attention of the rest of the NHL. Results were just released of a major survey in which more than 500 current players voted on a variety of subjects over the last few months. The 2017-18 Player Poll, co-ordinated by the NHLPA, involved more than 20-hockey related questions. Winnipeg makes a pair of appearances. Bell MTS Place finished third in voting for best NHL ice surface, behind Montreal’s Bell Centre and Rogers Place in Edmonton. As well, Winnipeg fans were voted fifth-best in the league, behind Chicago, Nashville, Montreal and Toronto. Other interesting categories include who’s the best referee (Wes McCauley in a landslide), which current player would make the best coach (Sidney Crosby in a close vote) and which current assistant coach would make the best bench boss (Toronto’s D.J. Smith).There were also votes taken on best skaters and goalies of all time. Among the more intriguing results, 77.7 per cent of voters said they’re happy with the current NHL points system which sees some games worth two points, and others that get to overtime or a shootout worth three. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/laine-playing-on-another-level-but-rest- of-team-having-trouble-putting-it-into-the-net-476494853.html Problems for Jets with only Laine bulging twine Finnish sniper will need backup from teammates tonight against Caps and iconic Ovie By: Mike McIntyre WASHINGTON — It’s a marquee matchup made in hockey heaven: Patrik Laine versus Alexander Ovechkin. Forty-goal scorer versus 40-goal scorer. Sophomore sniper versus the greatest shooter of his era. Finnish teen versus his childhood idol. Yes, the eyes of the hockey world will no doubt be on the U.S. capital tonight as Winnipeg and Washington face-off in a game just dripping with juicy storylines. Well, let us add one more to the mix: Is anybody on the Jets other than their teenage star going to start filling the net anytime soon? If you haven’t noticed, Winnipeg’s secondary scoring has all but disappeared. Consider this: Winnipeg has scored 10 times in the first four games of this road trip, in which they’ve managed to go 3-1-0 largely due to the fact Laine is playing on another level right now plus they’ve only given up six goals in that span. Laine has scored seven of the goals, plus assisted on another. That means he’s been directly involved in 80 per cent of their offence. Laine also scored two of Winnipeg’s four goals in their last home game, a 4-3 win over Detroit. That means he’s lit the lamp nine times in the past five games, while the rest of the lineup combined have just five goals in that stretch. Rookie Jack Roslovic hasn’t scored in 14 games, although he has managed to chip in with seven assists. Mathieu Perreault hasn’t scored in nine games, and doesn’t even have an helper in that stretch. Veteran centre Bryan Little has also been blanked in his past nine, with just two assists. Captain Blake Wheeler hasn’t scored in seven games despite having five assists. Kyle Connor is also in a seven-game goal scoring drought, with just one assist. All of the above players are in Winnipeg’s top nine, logging big minutes. And yet they certainly haven’t been producing like it. Throw in last week’s injury to No. 1 centre Mark Scheifele, plus the continued, prolonged absence of Adam Lowry, and you have the makings of a problem. Laine, along with linemates Paul Stastny and Nikolaj Ehlers, have essentially been carrying the team offensively. And while that’s great for what might be the hottest line in the NHL right now, it makes them a potential one-trick pony for other teams to key on. Winnipeg has been mostly excellent in one-goal games this year, showing an ability to hold leads in tight games. But as we saw Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia, Laine can’t do it all. They lost 2-1 in a game where a contribution or two from anyone else might have put them over the top. Coach Paul Maurice brought out the line blender midway through that game, shaking up the looks of every line except the Stastny-Laine-Ehlers trio. "No," was his curt response when asked if he thought the changes worked. So it must be asked: Has the rest of the team come to expect Laine to simply produce enough most games to put them over the top, to the detriment of their own production? "I understand the question. But the NHL doesn’t work like that. Nobody has ever said I feel better now because I don’t have to score now because Patty will," Maurice told the Free Press following Saturday’s loss. "We’ve got some different combinations, we’ve got a different kind of hockey being played now at this time of year. So a little harder to score, a little harder to get to those areas," he said.

  • Vegas Beats Winnipeg with Stick Jets Livid Goal Wasn't Overturned After Hellebuyck Slashed in Head
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/vegas-downs-jets-3-2-to-remain-on-top-of-western- conference-472272033.html Vegas beats Winnipeg with stick Jets livid goal wasn't overturned after Hellebuyck slashed in head By: Mike McIntyre A heavyweight battle of the Western Conference’s top-two teams delivered in spades Thursday night. And while the Vegas Golden Knights skated away with a 3-2 overtime victory over the Winnipeg Jets, it was a controversial call earlier in the game — and Winnipeg’s reaction to it — that will surely reverberate all the way to the NHL’s head office. We take you back to late in second period, with the teams locked in a 1-1 tie and Vegas on the power play. Jets goaltender Connor Hellebuyck couldn’t quite squeeze a shot from the blue-line, and the puck sat loose behind him just inches from the goal-line. Vegas forward James Neal, apparently trying to cash in, took a wild swing with his stick that caught Hellebuyck flush in the head. Neal’s twig broke in half, the blade spinning towards the corner boards as the proverbial smoking gun. Only there was no penalty call on the play and no whistle. Erik Haula then pounced on the loose puck, knocking it home for the go-ahead tally. Winnipeg protested, and the two referees huddled with the linesman for a few seconds before ruling it a goal. Jets head coach Paul Maurice challenged for goaltender interference. Following a lengthy review, referee Ghislain Hebert ruled the original call stood — even though it was clear as day Neal slashed Hellebuyck in the face with great force.

  • Turnbull Hockey Pool For
    Turnbull Hockey Pool for Each year, Turnbull students participate in several fundraising initiatives, which we promote as a way to develop a sense of community, leadership and social responsibility within the students. Last year's grade 7 and 8 students put forth a great deal of effort campaigning friends and family members to join Turnbull's annual NHL hockey pool, raising a total of $1750 for a charity of their choice (the United Way). This year's group has decided to run the hockey pool for the benefit of Help Lesotho, an international development organization working in the AIDS-ravaged country of Lesotho in southern Africa.

Our work targets root causes and community priorities, including literacy, youth leadership training, school twinning, child sponsorship and gender programming. Help Lesotho is an effective, sustainable organization that is working at the grass-roots level to support the next generation of leaders in Lesotho." Your participation in this year's NHL hockey pool is very much appreciated. We believe it will provide students and their friends and families an opportunity to have fun together while giving back to their community by raising awareness and funds for a great cause.
