Game 32: Jets vs. Oilers pre-game report

Jets didn’t skate but coach Maurice confirmed when he met with the media (listen below) that he will use the same lineup with the exception of switching goalies.

Courtesy of Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun we get these lines from warm-up:

Ehlers-Scheifele-Wheeler
Perreault-Little-Laine
Tanev-Lowry-Stafford
Dano-Copp-Thorburn

Morrissey-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Trouba
Chiarot-Postma

Hellebuyck
Hutchinson

Coach pre-game audio:

Paul Maurice:  Same lineup?  Biggest challenge finding continuity in the lines?  Does he prefer to hard on what happened last night or move forward?  On his comments last night about the goalies.  On the challenge tonight.  Harder to keep the team focused after wins vs. tough losses?  Is there a mental element to the 2nd period?

Courtesy of Brian Munz of the TSN 1290 Winnipeg here are the Edmonton Oilers projected lines, D pairs and goalies:

Pouliot-Draisaitl-Pitlick
Lucic-McDavid-Caggiula
Maroon-Nugent Hopkins-Eberle
Slepyshev-Letestu-Kassian

Sekera-Russell
Klefbom-Larsson
Simpson-Benning

Gustavsson
