Winnipeg Jets’ Anthony Bitetto takes part in training camp at Bell MTS Iceplex on Monday morning. He’ll suit up tonight in Edmonton for the fourth time in five pre-season games.

Anthony Bitetto admits running his mouth comes naturally. Which is why he’s already exchanging friendly jabs with many of his Winnipeg Jets teammates, despite only recently meeting most of them for the first time.

“I grew up that way. Being from New York, you kinda don’t know when to shut up, probably,” the 29-year-old defenceman from Island Park, N.Y., joked Monday.
