Game 6: Winnipeg Jets vs St. Louis Blues pre-game report

The undefeated (5-0-0) Jets will head into St. Louis tonight against the Blues (4-2-0) for a little Central Division action. If yesterday’s practice was any indication the only changes from the 6-3 win over the Pens on Sunday will be Rasmus Kupari drawing back into the lineup for David Gustafsson. Of course the expectation is that Connor Hellebuyck will get the net back from Eric Comrie who made 39 saves in his first game of the season on Sunday.

Morning skate news:

Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press confirms that the changes we saw yesterday will remain today and he confirmed that Connor Hellebuyck starts.
