Coach Maurice: Any lineup changes? Facing a Hawks team that played last night. On the message delivered to players. Learning that “skill”. What is the key to getting off to a good start against Chicago? The play of Jonathan Toews. How does the centre switch on the top two lines changes Winnipeg offensively and defensively? Recall of Nelson Nogier. On Hellebuyck rebounding.
