The City of Brandon stands in solidarity with those mourning the passing of Minister John Fleury.

We extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends during this difficult time. Minister Fleury was a proud Red River Métis who dedicated his life to public service.

Backup Eric Comrie made 26 saves for his second shutout in two months as the Winnipeg Jets beat the Vegas Golden Knights 4-0 on Thursday night in a matchup of Western Conference divisional leaders.

The Jets took a step toward securing the Central Division and home-ice advantage for the Stanley Cup playoffs. They have three more points than Washington in the race for the Presidents’ Trophy and four more than Dallas in the Central.

Vegas, after back-to-back losses this week, finds its once solid grip on the Pacific Division more tenuous. Los Angeles is within three points after beating the Utah Hockey Club 4-2 on Thursday night.

Mark Scheifele, Adam Lowry, Colin Miller and Cole Perfetti scored and Nino Niederreiter had two assists. Comrie, who backs up Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck, got his first shutout since Feb. 4 against Carolina.

Adin Hill stopped 16 of 19 shots while playing the first two periods for the Golden Knights. Hill was replaced by Henderson call-up Akira Schmid in the third. Schmid saved both shots he faced.

Jets forward Nikolaj Ehlers was twice injured after getting hit by the puck.

Takeaways

Jets: Winnipeg clogged up the neutral zone through the first two periods to limit the Golden Knights to 13 shots on goal and two high-danger chances, according to Natural Stat Trick.

Golden Knights: Vegas entered the week comfortably ahead in the Pacific, but the Golden Knights are now in a battle for the division or risk falling into a potential first-round matchup with the Oilers.

Key moment

Scheifele’s goal was his 799th career point. Blake Wheeler is the only Jets player to reach the 800-point mark.

Key stat

The Jets are one victory from breaking the franchise record. Their 52 wins tied the mark set last season and in 2017-18.

Up next

The Jets are at Utah and the Golden Knights at Calgary, both on Saturday.

Fish companies and harvesters are puzzled as to why DFO scientists have concluded that the northern cod stock spawning biomass has remained stagnant for the past eight years or so.

This week’s stock assessment saw little or no growth since 2017.

But Alberto Wareham of Icewater Seafoods, a member of the Atlantic Groundfish Council, says an increase of 200,000 tonnes is not insignificant.

Last year saw the federal government allocate 84 per cent of the quota to the inshore sector, 10 per cent to Indigenous harvesters and six per cent to the offshore.

Alberto Wareham (Submitted)

Wareham says the growth in the stock this year should result in a greater total allowable catch than last year’s 18,000 tonnes. He says the offshore historically got 30-40 per cent of the total allowable catch.

Last year was the first year since the moratorium of 1992 that Icewater Seafoods in Arnold’s Cove was able to operate year-round on Canadian cod, not having to import any from Russia or Norway.

The FFAW is equally baffled. Secretary-treasurer Jason Spingle says the stock resembles pre-90s levels, yet DFO continues to underestimate its health, “costing our communities millions of dollars.”

They’re calling for a 115,000-tonne allocation for inshore and Indigenous fleets, and asking Ottawa to protect the spawning stock from factory-freezer trawlers.
