The series will return to Manitoba either with Winnipeg leading 3-1 or with St. Louis having tied things up 2-2. We won’t know that result until after game 4 concludes this afternoon in Missouri with both the Jets and Blues looking to set the tone in this series.
For the visitors the only real question mark is whether Gabriel Vilardi will draw in for his first game of these playoffs and his first game since he was injured against the Sabres back on March 23rd. Yesterday at practice he ditched the non-contact uniform for a regular one and head coach Scott Arniel called him a game-time decision.
Skate news:
No morning skate.
Warm-up news:
As per Ken Wieber of the Winnipeg Free Press Gabriel Vilardi was on the ice for warm-up but not surprisingly he didn’t take line rushes. Expect him back for game 5 on Wednesday. One move on the backend has Haydn Fleury drawing in for Logan Stanley.
