2019 Stanley Cup Playoffs – Round 1 Game 2: Jets vs. Blues pre-game report

The Jets hit the ice a little later than normal with a later puck drop scheduled in Winnipeg.  Lots of nervous energy in Manitoba as they hope the local squad can even this series.

Morning Skate Notes:

Brandon Tanev is skating with the group and according to NHL correspondent Scott Billeck it looks like he will be joining Par Lindholm and Adam Lowry on the 4th line.

Warm Up Skate:

Mathieu Perreault wasn’t on the ice for warm up but instead replaced by Jack Roslovic

Jets Projected lineup:

Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler
Ehlers-Hayes-Roslovic
Copp-Little-Laine
Lindholm-Lowry-Tanev

Morrissey-Trouba
Chiarot-Byfuglien
Kulikov-Myers

Hellebuyck
Brossoit

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
