Following Winnipeg’s home opener win the 4-1-0 Jets held a practice at the MTS Centre today in advance of the game against the St. Louis Blues tomorrow afternoon with a 2 pm puck drop.
According to Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun “Ben Chiarot is working with Paul Postma, so likely Chiarot will miss a third game. Myers-Pardy, Byfugljen-Enstrom, Stuart-Trouba”.
If we assume coach Maurice maintains the forward lines from the Flames game they would like like this:
Ladd-Little-Wheeler
Perreault-Scheifele-Ehlers
Burmistrov-Lowry-Stafford
Petan-Copp-Thorburn
We will have to wait and see what he decides to do with his starting goalie. Whether he will give Ondrej Pavelec another start or if he will keep the rotation going and start Michael Hutchinson. Update: Following skate coach Maurice didn’t indicate which goalie will start against St. Louis.
