The Jets won’t have a pre-game morning skate with today’s Black Friday 3 pm start time.  The lines yesterday were as follows:

Ladd-Little-Wheeler
Perreault-Scheifele-Stafford
Thorburn-Burmistrov-Ehlers
Lowry-Copp-Peluso

Pardy-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Myers
Stuart-Trouba

Hellebuyck
Hutchinson

Shane Hnidy of TSN says Hellebuyck led the Jets out for warm ups.  The Jets have also announced that he is getting the start.  His NHL regular season debut.

Wild lines come to us from beat writer Michael Russo who reported them from the Minnesota practice yesterday as follows:

While keeping the Jason Zucker-Mikko Koivu-Nino Niederreiter line intact, coach Mike Yeo scrambled his second and third lines. During 3-on-2 drills, Parise skated with Mikael Granlund and Charlie Coyle, and Erik Haula centered Thomas Vanek and Jason Pominville. The fourth line was Chris Porter, Ryan Carter and Kurtis Gabriel as Christoph Bertschy was reassigned.

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.
