The Winnipeg Jets' impressive start to the season hit a bump on Saturday night, falling 4-1 to the Nashville Predators and losing defenceman Dylan Samberg to a broken foot.

Samberg blocked a slap shot from Steven Stamkos in the second period and will return to Winnipeg for further evaluation.

"He’s got a broken foot, so it’s not good,” coach Scott Arniel told reporters after the game. “We’re gonna send him home tomorrow when we get to (Minneapolis) and get it looked at when he gets home.”

Canada Post says it has seen a shortage of more than eight million parcels amid the ongoing strike that has effectively shut down the postal system for nine days compared with the same period of 2023.

After spending her childhood growing up on an acreage outside of Altona and attending school in town, Rachel Colman has criss-crossed the country in the pursuit of her passion of fostering participation in singing in church.

That passion also led her to writing and creating praise and worship music, with her debut album "Make A Way" out now, a project where the now living in Winnipeg performer artfully brings pieces of living, liturgy, and scripture to life in song.
