The Jets hit the ice for morning skate today at the MTS Centre and via Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Free Press no changes to the lineup as it appears Mark Scheifele will miss his third straight game. Coach Mauric indicated following skate that Scheifele will not be a player and you can read more under update IV to our Mark Scheifele injury report. You can also read the full injury report here.
Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Free Press has these as the projected lines, D pairs and starting goalie:
Laine-Little-Ehlers
Perreault-Wheeler-Stafford
Copp-Lowry-Dano
Tanev-Burmistrov-Thorburn
Morrissey-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Trouba
Chiarot-Postma
Hellebuyck
Hutchinson
Player pre-game audio:
Bryan Little: Coming back and having immediate impact. On Wheeler moving to centre. Has he given him any pointers? Expectations on the Red Wings. What do the weekend wins do for the team confidence? What makes the third win in a row so difficult? On getting back to game speed, is it an antiquated notion?
Patrik Laine: On playing with Bryan Little. Lucky that he gets to play with such talented players? How does it compare making a play vs. getting the goal himself? Wanting to be known as more than a shooter? Showing Ehlers how to score.
Blake Wheeler: What has the adjustment been like to centre and how does he feel it has gone? Do they take anything from the success they had in Detroit? On what Tanev has done for the team. On what Little’s return has done for the Jets. Any surprise at how quickly he has been impactful?
Coach pre-game audio:
Paul Maurice: On Scheifele’s status. Injury news on remaining players. On concussions. On the monitors on the bench. Is it a different angle? Young wingers with Bryan Little, what can they learn?
