Game 46: Jets vs. Blackhawks projected lines

With the Jets landing in Chicago at 1:30 am this morning and more importantly, having played in last night’s Stars dominated contest so no morning skate today.

Update:  According to Gary Lawless of the Winnipeg Free Press coach Maurice said there may be a pre-game lineup change.  Both Little and Kane missed the pre-game skate yesterday but played in last night’s game against Dallas.  We will notify you when it is announced by the Jets bench boss following warm-up.  You can hear Coach Maurice’s pre-game comments here.

Update II:  Galiardi is skating so the suspicion is he may be playing if a forward is unable to play following warm up skate.  As it is the lines remain the same during line rushes says Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun.

Update III:  Lineups remains the same.  Whomever was feeling the pain was fine following skate and is playing tnt.
