Game 77: Jets vs. Rangers projected lines

Scheifele at practice

According to Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun here is a look at the projected Jets lines for the game against New York:

Ladd*-Little-Frolik
Stafford-Scheifele-Wheeler
Perreault-Lowry-Stempniak
Tlusty-Slater-Thorburn

Enstrom**-Myers
Stuart-Trouba**
Pardy-Byfuglien

Pavelec
Hutchinson.

* Ladd didn’t skate this AM but coach Maurice confirmed that he would play.
**Enstrom and Trouba also didn’t skate today but coach Maurice confirms both are playing tonight.

Jets audio:

Bryan Little – How is he feeling? How does he manage that excitement? Does he expect to play similar minutes to what he usually plays? On getting a good reception from his teammates. Fitting back in with Ladd and Frolik. Blame Ladd if there is no chemistry? Challenge of the Rangers.

Tobias Enstrom – Discussing the goal against vs. Chicago. When was last time he was part of a playoff race this close at this point in the year? Any sense at how many games they have to win to get in? On the team controlling their own destiny.
