Game 75: Jets vs. Sabres projected lines

Since the Jets won’t hold a game day skate here are the lines based on yesterday’s skate at the IcePlex and now updated based on warm up skate in Buffalo:

Ehlers-Scheifele-Wheeler
Armia-Burmistrov-Stafford
Thorburn-Lowry-Halischuk
Petan-Copp-Dano

Chiarot-Byfuglien
Stuart-Trouba
Melchiori-Postma

Hutchinson
Pavelec

Note:

Jacob Trouba didn’t skate yesterday but will take game day skate and looks like he will go today in Buffalo.  If he can’t then Brenden Kitchton will play in his first NHL game.

Via Mike Harrington of the Buffalo News we get these projected lines, D pairs and starting goalie:

Kane-O’Reiley-Deslauriers
Girgensons-Eichel-Reinhart
Foligno-Larsson-Gionta
Moulson-Legwand-Fasching

Gorges-Ristolainen
McCabe-Bogosian
Pysyk-Nelson

Johnson
Lieuwen

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.
