Game 9: Jets vs. Sabres projected lines

For the second consecutive game day the Jets won’t have a morning skate with today’s contest against the Sabres being an afternoon contest. Marko Dano who was called up by the Jets could see his first action if anyone is banged up and in terms of starting goalie we aren’t sure if the Jets bench boss will be continuing with the rotation. Here are the lines that coach Maurice used against the Avalanche

Laine-Scheifele-Wheeler
Connor-Perreault-Ehlers
Matthias-Lowry-Armia
Tanev-Burmistrov-Thorburn

Morrissey-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Postma*
Stuart-Chiarot

Hutchinson
Hellebuyck

*Tyler Myers wasn’t on the ice for warm-up skate. Jets say it is a lower-body issue for him that will keep him out of the game.

From John Vogl of the Buffalo News here are the lines the Buffalo Sabres used in yesterday’s 3-0 win over the Florida Panthers.

Moulson-O’Reilly-Okposo
Foligno-Larsson-Gionta
Girgensons-Reinhart-Ennis
Baptiste-Grant-Fasching

Gorges-Ristolainen
Kulikov-Bogosian
McCabe-Franson

Lehner and Nilsson.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
