Game 78: Jets vs. Canadiens pre-game report

Based on yesterday’s practice it looks like Jack Roslovic and Dustin Byfuglien will draw back into the lineup for the Jets.  Roslovic has been a healthy scratch the last few games while Byfuglien has been out since February 14th when he was hurt against the Avalanche and provided he comes in this morning feeling good/ looking good his coach indicated he will be back in the lineup.

For now the projected lineup is simply based on yesterday’s practice and will be updated (if need be) when morning skate gets underway.

Morning Skate:

An optional skate for the Jets this morning at Bell MTS Place.  Coach Maurice confirmed that Dustin Byfuglien will return to the lineup.

Jets projected lineup:

Connor-Scheifele-Wheeler
Ehlers-Hayes-Laine
Tanev-Lowry-Little
Perreault-Copp-Roslovic

Beaulieu Trouba
Chiarot Byfuglien
Kulikov Myers

Hellebuyck
Comrie

Audio:

Nikolaj Ehlers

Jacob Trouba

Coach Maurice:  Does it feel like the final regular season home game?  On Dustin Byuglien being on the second power play unit.  What does Jack Roslovic have to do to stay in the lineup?  What are the benefits for a young player dealing with adversity?  What does it mean to have a healthy competition for spots?  Can he put a finger on what isn’t going right with Nikolaj Ehlers game?
