The Jets were on the ice at Pepsi Center and from Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun we have these lines from the skate:

Halischuk(Ladd)-Little-Frolik
Stafford-Scheifele-Wheeler
Perreault-Lowry-Stempniak
Tlusty-Slater-Thorburn

Chiarot-Myers
Stuart-Trouba
Pardy-Harrison

Pavelec
Hutchinson.

Ken noted that Enstrom and Byfuglien are skating together which would indicate that Tobias will miss his third straight game.

Jets audio:

Dustin ByfuglienWhat is it like sitting this game out?  His reaction to the suspension.  With how the road trip has gone has it made it any easier sitting?  How excited is he at the possibility at clinching tonight? Did he reach out to Miller? Did he feel like his emotions got the better of him on the cross-check? What would it mean to him to help bring playoff hockey back to Winnipeg?  

Andrew Ladd What would it mean for him to get this group into the playoffs?  Do routines help the team stay focused?

Bryan Little Importance/magnitude of tonight’s game.  Does it feel any different?  What has he liked about the Jets game on the road trip?  What would it mean for him personally (having never been to post-season) to get to the playoffs?  Is the team pretty loose?     

Drew StaffordHow would he evaluate the mindset of the group going into tonight’s game?  What has it been like to have the success they have had on the road trip with a chance to punch ticket tonight?  What would it mean to him to get into the playoffs?  How does he assess Colorado?

Landeskog-O’Reilly-Tanguay
Mitchell-Duchene-Iginla
McLeod-Cliche-Hishon
Caron-Hamilton-Briere
