Via Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun we get the following lines, D pairs and starting goalie:

Ehlers-Scheifele-Wheeler
Tanev-Petan-Stafford
Copp-Lowry-Laine
Dano-Burmistrov-Thorburn

Morrissey-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Trouba
Stuart-Chiarot

Hellebuyck
Hutchinson

No Howden on the ice according to Ken.  Appears that Postma and De Leo are the scratches.

Player pre-game audio:

Jacob Trouba:  How does it feel to re-charge the batteries?  Was it more the mental or physical break?  Expectations on the Wild.  Does he keep an eye on the standings?  On the development of a rivalry between the Jets and Wild.

Coach pre-game audio:

Paul Maurice:  Is Stafford ready to go?  Keys for Stafford as he gets back into the lineup?  Added importance on these central division games, especially with how the road trip has gone?  What do they have to do to get pucks past Dubnyk?  Injury updates.  What has he liked about Trouba’s return?  Howden being sent down.  On De Leo potentially getting into the lineup.  Parallel of De Leo to Armia (from last season).

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.
