What’s happening today
The Winnipeg Jets face the Minnesota Wild at Xcel Energy Center, starting at 7 p.m.
The Jets don’t have another defenceman like Dylan Samberg, who has stepped up to play a big role for the NHL’s No. 1 team so far this season.
His extended absence due to a broken foot is looming large on a blue line that had, until Saturday night in Nashville, enjoyed a remarkable stretch of good health and good fortune. Mike McIntyre has the story.

Today’s must-read
The provincial government tracks child-care facilities that have “serious issues” and “key standards” deficiencies, but won’t say how many have been flagged.
The Free Press discovered the existence of trackers in internal messages that were compiled in a response to a freedom of information request that sought clarity on how a previous freedom of information application had been handled.
“Serious issues and key standards are tracked and updated regularly. Although I feel this information could open a new request,” a senior administrator with the education and early childhood learning department wrote in an email to the co-ordinator for Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) handling the file. Katrina Clarke has the story.

Meanwhile, Moore’s mother ran group homes for underprivileged children. “I always knew that if I ever did any kind of business, I’d like to give back,” says Moore, who runs the Moore Group at Century 21 Bachman & Associates. Aaron Epp has more here.
