Kyle Okposo will not be suspended for his hit on Zach Bogosian
According to Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun, Islanders forward Kyle Okposo's shoulder to head hit on Winnipeg Jets defenseman Zach Bogosian was reviewed by the NHL's Department of Player Safety and there will be no supplemental discipline. Nor should there be, in my opinion. It's doesn't look like Okposo targeted Bogosian's head.
There is also some question...

Goal breakdown: Rangers get two big points against Winnipeg
The Rangers came out flying in this game, as evidenced by the first goal 19 seconds into the game. They played the way we’ve been expecting them to play all year, but haven’t seen it enough. They forechecked, generated offensive chances, and capitalized on their chances. They had their shaky moments, such as the defensive breakdown that led to the first goal, but their good play...
Jets Slowly Growing Towards Model Franchise
It may have been one game the Winnipeg Jets were never in.
Yeah, the Jets have Zach Bogosian, Dustin Byfuglien, Evander Kane, Blake Wheeler, Andrew Ladd, and Toby Enstrom.
But the Pittsburgh Penguins have Chris Kunitz, Brandon Morrow, Brooks Orpik, Evgeni Malkin, and the best player in the world - Sidney Crosby.

Noel Preaches Consistency; Jets Respond
If there is one thing the 2012-13 Winnipeg Jets have taught me, it is that they can confound me one night and then bring me utter joy the next.
As my sister-in-law put it, "This team just frustrates me." And to boot, she can only stand watching the Jets for a certain amount of time before she will flip it to the nearest Vancouver, Pittsburgh, or Chicago game to see...

Evander Kane turns down Korbinian Holzer’s fight offer, Zach Bogosian accepts
This was a pretty interesting series of events. Toronto Maple Leafs defenseman Korbinian Holzer and Winnipeg Jets forward Evander Kane were pushing and shoving in the corner and it looked like that they might fight. Kane knew Holzer was bigger than him and declined Holzer’s attempt to fight. Holzer had already thrown his gloves off and started to awkwardly pick his equipment...

Hockey Thoughts Today
from Elliotte Friedman of CBC,
- You can see why St. Louis was so determined to make sure Vladimir Tarasenko was here once the lockout ended. He looked ridiculous against the Detroit Red Wings in the opener. At 21, he's a little older than your average rookie and that extra experience could be a huge benefit to a legit Stanley Cup contender. If the Blues needed anything...
