Game 47: Jets vs. Sharks pre-game report

While the Jets didn’t skate today coach Maurice met with the media in advance of puck drop this afternoon in San Jose and confirmed that he will use the same lineup as he did in L.A. and that Hutchinson will make the start:

Perreault-Little-Wheeler
Ehlers-Scheifele-Stafford
Matthias-Lowry-Armia
Copp-Petan-Thorburn

Morrissey-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Trouba
Stuart-Postma

Hutchinson
Hellebuyck

Audio:

Coach Maurice: Who starts tonight? What does he like what Hutchinson has done for the team? Any other changes to the lineup? Anything they can build off from the game against the Kings? Has he noticed the absence of Patrik Laine? On getting open lanes for the D.

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.
