Game 6: Jets vs. Stars projected lines

A look at the game 6 lineups.

American Airlines Arena

The Jets are getting ready for their sixth game of the season.  Lines and defence pairs come to us from Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun for today’s skate:

Laine-Scheifele-Wheeler
Ehlers-Perreault-Stafford
Matthias-Lowry-Armia
Thorburn-Burmistrov-Tanev

Morrissey-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Myers
Stuart-Chiarot

Hutchinson
Hellebuyck

Player pre-game audio:

Chris Thorburn:  Getting back into the lineup.  What does a stretch of road games do for a team?  Has he ever been through something like this before (being in and out of lineup).

Mark Stuart:  Importance of next couple games against a central division opponent.  Does he like the home and home concept?

Adam Lowry:  Do the Stars injuries change their mindset?  Building a rivalry with a home and home series.

Coach pre-game audio:

Paul Maurice:  Does he like the home and home?  With the Stars being banged up does that change his preparation?  What does he hope to gain by inserting Thorburn and Stuart?  What is missing from Kyle Connor’s game?  What does he want Kyle Connor looking for when he is sitting out?  Having to “be careful” with young players who are not playing.  Enough changes being generated?
