Jets Trim Training Camp Roster Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/jets-trim-training-camp-roster- 447421613.html Jets trim training camp roster By: Jason Bell Logan Stanley has the size but needs to grow his game in junior. The Winnipeg Jets returned the 6-7, 230-pound defenceman to his junior-hockey squad, the Kitchener Rangers, on Sunday morning. He was one of 13 players trimmed from the NHL club's training camp roster. Head coach Paul Maurice hinted over the weekend he wanted the personnel down to a more workable number and he'll have that Monday morning when the Jets skate at the Iceplex in preparation for an evening pre-season clash with the Calgary Flames. Winnipeg (0-3-1) is still looking for its first victory of the pre-season. Game time is 7 p.m. at Bell MTS Place (TSN3 TV, 1290TSN Radio). Nineteen forwards, nine defencemen and three goaltenders remain at training camp. Stanley participated in the Young Stars Classic prospects tournament in Penticton, B.C., earlier this month and was invited to the Jets' main camp. However, the Waterloo, Ont., product, a first- round pick (18th overall) in the 2016 NHL Draft clearly isn't ready for prime time. Kitchener is 1-1 its first two games of the OHL season. Stanley could be in the Rangers lineup when they play the Windsor Spitfires on Thursday night. Stanley won a Memorial Cup national junior title with the Spitfires in late May, but his rights were dealt to Kitchener in early August. Two notable members of the Jets organization, goalie Michael Hutchinson and blue-liner Julian Melchiori, were cut by the big club and must clear waivers before joining the Moose. Hutchinson has appeared in 99 games with the Jets over parts of four seasons, going 41-38-11 with a career 2.63 goals-against average and a .910 save percentage. He was at his best with the Jets during the 2013-14 season when he went 21-10-5 and helped the team earn its only playoff appearance. He inked a new two-year contract prior to the 2016-17 season, as the Jets needed another goalie under contract to leave exposed to the Vegas Golden Knights in the expension draft. Hutchinson's fate was sealed when Winnipeg signed goalie Steve Mason over the summer, and he will partner with Eric Comrie with the Moose unless he is claimed on waivers or a trade with another club can be negotiated. Melchiori, meanwhile, has a pair of assists in 30 games with the Jets over parts of three seasons. He got into 18 contests at the end of last season when the club was hit with string of injuries to the blue line, and will be a valuable, veteran contributor for the Moose. Fowards Michael Sgarbossa and Buddy Robinson, both signed by the Jets on July 1, were demoted and must clear waivers before joining the Moose. Blue-liner Cam Schilling is in the same boat. Winnipeg also sent forwards Mason Appleton, Chase De Leo, Jansen Harkins and Jimmy Lodge, defenceman Sami Niku, Nelson Nogier and goalie Jamie Phillips to the AHL team. None of the players requires waivers. The club suffered its third-straight loss in regulation Saturday — a 6-2 defeat to the host Edmonton Oilers. Winnipeg opened the exhibition slate Sept. 18 at home with a shootout loss to the Minnesota Wild. https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/jets-captain-wheeler-takes-stand- against-trump-447487343.html Jets captain Wheeler takes stand against Trump By: Mike McIntyre EDMONTON — He isn’t taking a knee. But Winnipeg Jets captain Blake Wheeler – never one to shy away from an on-ice battle — is taking a stand against U.S. President Donald Trump through social media. In the process, the Minnesota native appears to have gone where no other pro hockey player has publicly ventured to date. Wheeler, who uses the handle @BiggieFunke, fired off a pair of short, pointed Twitter messages this weekend as part of an ongoing controversy between Trump and a growing chorus of other pro athletes. "It’s the First Amendment to our Constitution. The First one!!" Wheeler said in his first Tweet. "Regardless of how it makes you feel individually, these are literally the principles the US was founded on. Come on, Mr. President," he typed moments later. Wheeler didn’t make the trip to Edmonton for Saturday night’s exhibition game, and he and his teammates were off on Sunday. The first opportunity to speak to the matter and expand on his comments will come this morning. Trump has come under fire for comments he made at a rally in Alabama on Friday, where he suggested National Football League players who protests during the national anthem should be "fired." "Wouldn’t you love to see one of these NFL owners, when somebody disrespects our flag, to say, ‘Get that son of a b— off the field right now. He is fired," Trump said. Wheeler’s comments appear to be mostly well-received through social media. As of Sunday evening, they had been "liked" more than 14,000 times and re-tweeted by other users more than 3,000 times. There were also more than 500 comments from other Twitter users, with the majority being supportive of his position. "I couldn’t agree more! Guess I have a new NHLer to root for. Thank you for speaking up," said one user. "Good for you to stand up for what is right regardless of the backlash you may receive. Proud to have you as Captain of our Jets!" wrote another. Not everyone was on his side. "Stick to hockey! Stay out of politics!" reads one of the few dozen negative replies, all carrying a similar theme to them. Trump’s comments triggered an immediate backlash on a number of fronts. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell called them "divisive" in a statement, while the player’s association went even further in their reaction. "We will never back down," NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith tweeted early Saturday morning. "We no longer can afford to stick to sports." Trump, as he is prone to do, carried the matter over to Twitter. On Saturday morning, he took aim at Stephen Curry of the NBA champion Golden State Warriors by "uninviting" him to the White House for waffling on his invitation. A slew of basketball players then jumped into the fray, with Lebron James calling the president a "bum" among other things. Wheeler then weighed in, answering a question many had posed about whether a hockey player might ever enter the fray. It remains to be seen if others will now follow suit. It also raises questions about whether Wheeler might opt to go beyond his Twitter comments and protest during the anthem by sitting it out, as athletes in several other sports have done including a huge wave during Sunday’s round of NFL games. The Jets are currently in a stretch where they are playing eight straight games against Canadian teams through the end of the pre-season and start of the regular-season. The first opportunity to hear the U.S. anthem comes on Oct. 14 when they host the Carolina Hurricanes. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Penguins came under heavy criticism Sunday after issuing a statement saying they would, as reigning Stanley Cup champions, visit Trump at the White House. Trump quickly responded on Twitter, praising them for being a "great team." https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/top-defensive-prospect-will-make-camp- cuts-a-tough-call-447483483.html Top defensive prospect will make camp cuts a tough call By: Mike McIntyre EDMONTON — He was a question mark coming into camp as he worked his way back from off- season double shoulder surgery while getting his first taste of pro hockey. But Tucker Poolman continues to impress his boss. "He’s had a real strong camp. He hasn’t had a dip, he hasn’t had a lull," Winnipeg Jets coach Paul Maurice said following Saturday’s 6-2 loss in Edmonton. Poolman played 16:51, registered two shots on goal and blocked a shot while going minus-one. He spent plenty of five-on-five time matched up against superstar Connor McDavid. "It’s hard to assess a guy coming out of college. There’s a big unknown for all of them. It’s obvious the skill set. He’s big, he moves, he can shoot the puck, he’s showing some nice hands to make some plays. But you don’t know until you get into the heavier going. But he handles it well," Maurice said. With the Jets' top-six defence appearing to be set and Ben Chiarot likely slated for the seventh spot, where Poolman fits in remains a mystery. Does he go to the Manitoba Moose and log big minutes for his first pro experience, or stick with the big club for added depth from the press box? Time will tell. JC Lipon is likely destined for another year in the American Hockey League. He certainly helped his cause as a future recall option with a strong showing in Edmonton, which Maurice singled out for praise in his post-game comments. Lipon made the most of his 10:35 of ice time, scoring a power play goal, dishing out three hits, firing two shots and dropping the gloves for a spirited scrap with Jujhar Khaira. "I just try to do something every night to try and get another game," Lipon said. Mission accomplished, as he remains with the team following Sunday’s round of cuts.

    MEDIA CLIPS Columbus Blue Jackets at Boston Bruins January 2, 2020 Columbus Blue Jackets Columbus Blue Jackets’ troubles in overtime tied to penalties By Jacob Myers – The Columbus Dispatch – December 31, 2019 Back in October when the Blue Jackets lost two games in overtime on back-to-back nights, John Tortorella didn’t hesitate to mention the importance of those additional points at the end of seasons when playoff spots are hanging in the balance. More than two months later, the Jackets have posted a 1-4 record in games decided in overtime or a shootout in December, prior to Tuesday night’s game against the Florida Panthers, while sitting six points out of the final wild card spot. In each of those overtime or shootout losses, the Jackets either lost on the penalty kill or had to kill one off. Three-on-three overtime can be a crapshoot, with its fast-paced nature and high frequency of odd-man rushes. But the improvement in those extra periods — and avoiding them entirely — starts with cutting out unnecessary penalties that have limited the Jackets’ ability to sustain any offense. "It's not so much getting back in the race, it's about winning the next game," Tortorella said Tuesday after morning skate. "It's about giving yourself a chance to win the game and not lose sitting in the box and taking more than two or three (penalties) during a game. Your whole bench is disrupted. It's hard to do." Overall, the Jackets are one of the least-penalized teams in the league.

  • Maurice Wants Production from Third, Fourth Lines with Nine Players in the Mix, Bottom Six Looks Crowded
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/maurice-wants-production-from-third- fourth-lines-452913503.html Maurice wants production from third, fourth lines With nine players in the mix, bottom six looks crowded By: Mike McIntyre It’s getting awfully crowded at the bottom for the Winnipeg Jets. But the team’s growing list of depth players — believed to be a strength headed into this season — have provided next to nothing when it comes to offence. That’s creating a frustrating situation for head coach Paul Maurice as he tries to figure out his lineup card these days, especially with a pair of injured forwards set to return and further cloud the situation. Consider this: the Jets' third and fourth lines have yet to score a goal in five-on-five play through seven games this year, in which they've managed to go 4-3-0. Brandon Tanev and Joel Armia each have a short-handed tally, while Andrew Copp assisted on a shorty scored by defenceman Tyler Myers. As for the rest of the lot, Shawn Matthias has no points through seven games despite ample chances. Nic Petan has been blanked in his six games, which has included plenty of power-play time. Marko Dano has nothing through five and Adam Lowry was kept off the scoresheet for four games prior to being injured. Brendan Lemieux has one game under his belt since being recalled from the Moose, while veteran Matt Hendricks has yet to play this season but is expected to be in the lineup Thursday when the Jets battle the Penguins in Pittsburgh.

  • Maurice Changes Lines at Jets Practice
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/maurice-changes-lines-at-jets-practice- 473698153.html Maurice changes lines at Jets practice By: Mike Sawatzky The Winnipeg Jets may have the NHL's best home record but there's a price to be paid for all that success. "When you're higher in the standings, and we're close to first, you're going to get teams pretty geared up to play you when they come in," said veteran Jets defenceman Ben Chiarot following practice at Bell MTS Place Saturday afternoon. "This is a tough building to play in and when you put where we are in the standings on top of that, teams are going to come out hard. If we're off one night or sleeping to start, we're going to be off on the wrong foot. "And St. Louis was pretty jacked up to play us." The Jets, mostly outplayed by the Blues in a 5-2 loss to St. Louis Friday night, will have another chance to defend home ice Sunday afternoon (2 p.m., TSN3, TSN 1290) when the New York Rangers make their lone visit of the 2017-18 season. Winnipeg was 20-4-2 at home and tied for top spot in the Central Division while the Rangers were three points out of a wild-card playoff spot in the Eastern Conference heading into Saturday's action. On Thursday, Rangers GM Jeff Gorton sent shockwaves through the league when he announced the club was entering a rebuilding phase and warned the club's fans that a sell-off of major assets was probable prior to the Feb.

  • AHL Seeing Brand-New Moose Improved Team Beats Cleveland Monsters 4-1
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/manitoba-moose/ahl-seeing-brand-new- moose-451031353.html AHL seeing brand-new Moose Improved team beats Cleveland Monsters 4-1 By: Mike Sawatzky The Manitoba Moose didn’t just get a makeover for 2017-18. If you factor in the 15 players on the current American Hockey League roster who did not play regularly for the Moose last season last season, it’s pretty clear this squad has undergone a radical facelift. Sure, second-year pros such as Jack Roslovic and Kyle Connor are still the offensive engine of the team, but with a wave of fresh talent looking to contribute and better production from returnees such as Brendan Lemieux, the Moose should be better than the bunch that finished seventh of eight teams in the Central Division in 2016-17. Lemieux scored once on the power play and added an empty-netter to lead Manitoba to a 4-1 triumph over the Cleveland Monsters at Bell MTS Place on Sunday afternoon. Rookie pro Jansen Harkins, making his season debut, and Connor, with his third in four games, also scored for the hosts, who improved to 2-2-0-0. "I’m playing a lot more, so there’s more confidence that comes with that," said the 21-year-old Lemieux, who has three goals and five points in four games. "So, I knew coming into this league what kind of player I could be and I think I’m getting to the direction I want to be. I’m not there yet, but close.

  • Jets Enter Free Agency with Distinct Needs
    Winnipeg Sun http://www.winnipegsun.com/2017/06/29/jets-enter-free-agency-with-distinct-needs Jets enter free agency with distinct needs BY KEN WIEBE, WINNIPEG SUN Kevin Cheveldayoff is well aware the clock is ticking and the free agency bell is about to ring. The courting period has provided the Winnipeg Jets with the opportunity to express interest in several players they'd like to pursue come Saturday when the window to sign unrestricted free agents officially opens. Several players — including goalies Steve Mason and Brian Elliott and defenceman Karl Alzner, among others — have at least demonstrated some level of interest in joining the Jets. It's important to remember: for agents, the courting period is the time to drum up additional interest for the client. And a lot can happen between now and Saturday. Another team can swoop in with a bigger offer or provide an additional year or higher dollar amount to seal the deal. But the Jets go into this weekend with two distinct needs at the top of the wish list: an experienced starting goalie to share the net with Connor Hellebuyck and a defenceman who can play the left side, preferably a left-handed shooter. Historically, the Jets haven't been a team to swing for the fences or overpay to land a marquee name on July 1. Veteran centre Olli Jokinen was a place-holder and his signing in 2012 allowed Mark Scheifele to get some additional seasoning at the junior level before he was ready to be a full-time NHLer.
