Player Audio:

Blake Wheeler:  What would he like to see from his group in first road game.  How long does it take to get group on same page?  Importance of rivalry with Wild.  Can he pinpoint why Jets have had success against Minnesota? On Laine playing on top line.  Losing Little.

Mark Stuart:  Excitement on getting into lineup.  Challenges on first couple of shifts.

Mark Scheifele:  On Laine’s big shot.  Laine playing power play.  How is Laine in the lockerroom?  How does he manage who shoots considering he and Laine both like to shoot?

Coach Audio:

Coach:  On Laine.  Bringing Thorburn and Stuart into lineup.  Excitement of having young kids in lineup.  On Hutchinson getting the start.  What does he expect from Burmistrov in a more offensive role?  Style of play from a Boudreau coached team that he would expect?  Can Staal have a re-birth in Minnesota?
