With it being an afternoon game (2 pm puck drop) neither team will have a morning skate.  Here are the projected lines and defence pairs for the Jets based on the last game:

Perreault-Scheifele-Wheeler
Petan-Burmistrov-Stafford
Halischuk-Lowry-Thorburn
De Leo-Copp-Kosmachuk

Enstrom-Byfuglien
Trouba-Myers
Chiarot-Postma

Hutchinson
Pavelec

*Chase De Leo has been recalled from the Manitoba Moose on an emergency basis.  Thought is he could play for one of the Jets as the team has been suffering from the flu.

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.
