Observations of Team Lesuk on day 1 of Winnipeg Jets training camp

After a busy morning covering Team Neufeld we switched our focus to Team Lesuk for the afternoon.

Illness:

2019 4th rounder Henri Nikkanen is sick as per Kevin Cheveldayoff.

Lines & D Pairs:

What would day 1 of camp be without us overanalyzing lines and D pairs from a group that represents only half the regulars on the team. But this is hockey in a Canadian market so here is how things looked this morning:

Ehlers-Namestnikov-Iafallo
Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton
Barlow-Lambert-Ford
Torgersson-Toninato-Levis
He-Zhilkin-Lucius

Fleury-Pionk
Stanley-DeMelo
Sautner-Bauer
Anhorn-Barteaux

Kahkonen
Comrie

Note:

Brad Lambert and Nikolaj Ehlers would be a deadly fast combination. Chaz Lucius, who is slowly being worked back into game shape, looked good out there.

Media:

Up next:

Team Lesuk skates tomorrow at hockey for all centre at 10 AM. Don’t forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel as that’s where we will be posting all interviews.

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.
