The Jets are 4-0-1 at home this season including 3-0-1 on this six-game homestand. Tonight they will be looking to keep that going with a game against their division rival St. Louis Blues who rolled into Winnipeg having won their last game 4-1 over the Leafs on Saturday.
AM skate notes:
As per NHL.com correspondent Scott Billeck all Jets are present and accounted for today at morning skate. Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun is reporting it will be Connor Hellebuyck getting the start in net and with Dmitry Kulikov and Nic Petan staying on late it looks like the Jets will ice the same lineup they used in the win over the Coyotes on Saturday.

Blake Wheeler
Josh Morrissey
Coach Maurice: Adding offence from the Lowry line. At what point did he see Tanev, Lowry and Copp as a permanent trio? On Lowry becoming a centre late. On his numbers in the faceoff dot. What did Josh Morrissey show that has earned him a spot on the power play? What does it do for the team when he puts up numbers offensively? What did he see from Kristian Vesalainen with the Moose yesterday?
