Connor-Perreault-Stafford
Tanev-Lowry-Thorburn

Morrissey-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Myers
Stuart-Postma

Hutchinson
Hellebuyck

Brian Munz of TSN 1290 Winnipeg provides the Wild lines, D pairs and starting goalie:

Parise-Staal-Coyle
Granlund-Koivu-Stewart
Niederreiter-Haula-Pominville
Zucker-Dalpe-Pulkkinen

Suter-Spurgeon
Scandella-Folin
Brodin-Dumba

Dubnyk
Kuemper

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?

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
