The Winnipeg Jets responded with urgency in Game 2 of their second-round playoff series, taking an early lead and maintaining control throughout a 4–0 win over the Dallas Stars to even the series at one game apiece.

The Jets played much more like the Jets of the regular season, and that goes for Connor Hellebuyck as well. He would end up stopping 21 shots on his way to a shutout. It's his fourth playoff shutout of his career, and his first since 2021. Hellebuyck now has a record of 18-1-1 in the last 20 home games.

Five men have been arrested following a targeted sweep by the Winnipeg Police Service’s Counter Exploitation Unit (CEU) in the city’s West End.

On Thursday, May 8, the CEU—supported by East District Community Support Units—conducted the operation in response to multiple community concerns, according to a release from the WPS.

Police say that officers arrested five men between the ages of 27 and 53 for obtaining sexual services for consideration. All were released on undertakings, as outlined in the Criminal Code.

For Ken Sky, illusions aren’t just tricks or sleight of hand—they’re a tool to spread joy, spark curiosity, and, when appropriate, share the Good News of Jesus.

“An illusionist performs sleight of hand, does tricks, and we use that skill to create an illusion of something to make people laugh, wonder, think,” Sky explains. “Just like music is used to inspire people, to make them think and celebrate, illusions can be used to tell a story—to entertain and disconnect people from the real world for just a moment.”
