Game 48: Jets vs. Coyotes pre-game report

Jets held an optional but coach Maurice confirmed no lineup changes other than Pavelec starting for Winnipeg:

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

Morrissey-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Trouba
Stuart-Postma

Pavelec
Hellebuyck

Audio:

Blake Wheeler:  What can Pavelec bring to this team?  Nice to have a familiar face back in the room?  Happy to see Burmistrov get a chance with the Coyotes?  What did they learn about the Coyotes last Friday?  Was their a message sent or received in Pavelec’s return?

Shawn Matthias:  What did he like about the last 30 minutes in the game against Arizona and how can they bring that into tonight’s game?  What can bringing in a veteran like Pavelec do for the team?  Has the room been able to stay together?  Taking advantage of this home stand.

Coach Maurice:  Patrik Laine skated this AM (statement).   Still cannot set a timetable?  Advice for his goalie tonight?  Thoughts on Burmistrov starting for the Coyotes tonight?  Any other lineup changes?  On how long was Laine out there for?
