Game 15: Winnipeg Jets vs Dallas Stars pre-game report

This is gonna be a great measuring stick game for both Winnipeg and Dallas as the two Central Division rivals do battle at CLC. Stars are 6-4-0 in their last ten games. They are 2-3-0 away from Dallas. They’ve got a top 4 PK although surprisingly their PP is listed at just 18th.

Skate news:

No morning skate with it being an afternoon game. Based on yesterday’s practice in Winnipeg it seems like they’ll stick with the same lineup with Connor Hellebuyck starting.

Jets projected lines & D pairs:

Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi
Perfetti-Namestnikov-Ehlers
Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton
Barron-Kupari-Iafallo

Morrissey-DeMelo
Samberg-Pionk
Stanley-Miller

Hellebuyck
Comrie
