The Jets will be going for a rare third straight win this evening when they conclude their two-game homestand against the Boston Bruins. The Jets got some good news from a lineup perspective as Andrew Copp skated yesterday in practice in a regular uniform and is expected to return to the lineup after he missed the team’s last game on Tuesday. The Bruins will be without their captain Patrice Bergeron who is back in Massachusetts according to head coach Bruce Cassidy.

Morning skate:

As per Scott Billeck of the Winnipeg Sun, tonight’s expected starter for the Jets is Connor Hellebuyck who is going through his usual routine. Andrew Copp will return to the starting lineup with Adam Brooks coming out.

Jets projected lines & D pairs:

Stastny-Scheifele-Wheeler
Connor-Dubois-Ehlers
Copp-Lowry-Svechnikov
Harkins-Toninato-Vesalainen

Morrissey-DeMelo
Dillon-Pionk
Stanley-Schmidt

Hellebuyck
