Game 1 of the pre-season: Jets vs. Wild projected lines

The Wild and Jets will kick off the pre-season tonight at Bell MTS Place with a 7 pm puck drop.  Tonight’s projected lines and D pairs come to us from Jamie Thomas of Jets TV:

Ehlers-Little-Laine
Vesalainen-Roslovic-Perreault
Kerdiles-Griffith-Appleton
Lemieux-Petan-Dano

Stanley-Byfuglien
Niku-Chiarot
Morrow-Poolman

Brossoit
Comrie

Pre-game audio:

Coach Maurice:  On having Josh Morrissey back.  Who starts tonight?  Will he play the full game?  What does he look for in the first pre-season game?  Will he be curious to watch Ehlers/Little/Laine more than normal?  On Ehlers becoming a consistent NHLer.  On Morrissey’s development curve.  Does he think about how the Morrissey contract works for the team?  Does provide flexibility to add a player at deadline.  Does having Morrissey change approach with Tyler Myers?  On teaching the new guys the system.
