Since the Jets played yesterday they won’t have a game day skate today. Mark Scheifele has been activated and Matt Halischuk was re-assigned to the Moose. The question is whether coach Maurice drops him onto the 3rd line and moves Thorburn to the 4th to keep the Ladd/Lowry/Burmistrov line intact. (Updated: According to Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun it appears that Hutchinson will be starting).
Possible projected lines:
Stafford-Little-Wheeler
Ladd-Lowry-Burmistrov
Perreault-Scheifele-Ehlers
Armia-Copp-Thorburn
Trouba-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Myers
Stuart-Chiarot
Hutchinson
Hellebuyck
Projected lines from Eric Stephens of the Orange County Register:
Rakell-Getzlaf-Perry
Hagelin-Kesler-Silfverberg
Cogliano-Horcoff-Santorelli
Maroon-Thompson-Stewart
Lindholm-Manson
Vatanen-Bieksa
Stoner-Theodore
Gibson
