Audio:

Blake Wheeler: Importance of getting the wrapping up the home stand the right way.  Has he watched much of what Calgary has been able to do from afar? On the Jets shuffling the lines.

Josh Morrissey:  Trying to fill Enstorm’s role.  What he is expecting from the Flames.  Any extra incentive to try to stop the Calgary streak?  How is he feeling?

Coach Maurice:  Status of Ben Chiarot?  Changing up the lines.  What is he hoping to get from Nic Petan?  Are the Jets still an optimistic group?  Does a game like tonight compare to a playoff game?  Importance of young players (i.e. Scheifele, Ehlers, Trouba) to play in playoff games?  How has Calgary accomplished their hot streak and how can the Jets mimic it?  Can the Jets go on a similar run?  Searching for a penalty killer (i.e. like a Michael Frolik).  Status of Melchiori?  On the changes to the Jets power play.

Flames lines:

Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Versteeg-Bennett-Brouwer
Bouma-Stajan-Chiasson

Giordano-Hamilton
Brodie-Engelland
Bartkowski-Wideman

Elliott
Johnson

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.
