Much like the game on Tuesday there are question marks heading into tonight’s game against San Jose. Mark Scheifele, Nikolaj Ehlers and Paul Stastny all didn’t take part in practice on Wednesday although head coach Paul Maurice didn’t seem too concerned.

Morning skate:

As per Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun no Paul Stastny at today’s morning skate but that Mark Scheifele and Nikolaj Ehlers are skating. He confirmed that Paul Maurice will use the same lineup as last game.

Jets projected lines & D pairs:

Connor-Dubois-Svechnikov
Harkins-Copp-Ehlers
Lowry-Scheifele-Wheeler
Toninato-Nash-Vesalainen

Morrissey-Schmidt
Dillon-Pionk
Stanley-DeMelo

Hellebuyck
Comrie
