Game 50: Jets vs Canadiens pre-game report

The Jets ended their last road trip feeling good about the state of their game having gone 4-1-0 but the time they spent at home recently left them with an 0-5-0 record which has them limping into Montreal looking to regain that road swagger. While the Jets brought four new faces on the trip for their taxi squad the big question is the status of Adam Lowry who wore yellow, non-contact in the last skate for Winnipeg on Wednesday morning.

Lineup news:

Jets coach Paul Maurice confirms same lineup tonight in Montreal as last game.

Jets projected lines & D pairs:

Copp-Scheifele-Appleton
Connor-Dubois-Wheeler
Vesalainen-Stastny-Perreault
Harkins-Thompson-Lewis

Morrissey-Poolman
Forbort-Pionk
Benn-DeMelo

Hellebuyck
Brossoit
