Game 8: Winnipeg Jets vs Montreal Canadiens pre-game report

A look at the projected lineup with all the latest game info.

The Jets were off on Friday and given they’ve won three straight game the conventional wisdom would have them maintaining the same lineup that helped them defeat the Oilers, Blues and Red Wings. Might they give Laurent Brossoit his second start of the season? Could we see Declan Chisholm make his season debut?

Skate news:

As per Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press it will be Laurent Brossoit between the pipes for the Jets. Other than that no changes according to Wieber.

Jets projected lines & D pairs:

Connor-Scheifele-Iafallo
Perfetti-Namestnikov-Ehlers
Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton
Barron-Kupari-Gustafsson

Morrissey-DeMelo
Dillon-Pionk
Samberg-Schmidt

Brossoit
Hellebuyck
