Just a few lineup questions for Winnipeg after the team took Tuesday off following their 4-3 win over the Kings. We know Tyler Toffoli didn’t play as he was under the weather so we shall have to wait and see if he is good to go. Additionally, the team lost Nino Niederreiter with 12 minutes left in the 3rd and after the game we found out he required stitches after he was cut.

Skate news:

Four players missing including Nino Niederreiter, Adam Lowry, Logan Stanley and Sean Monahan.

I was a smidge late to skate but as per Mitch Clinton below were the lines and D pairs.

Lines and D pairs:

Ehlers-Scheifele-Vilardi
Connor-Kupari-Perfetti
Toffoli-Gustafsson-Appleton
Barron-Namestnikov-Iafallo

Morrissey-Pionk
Dillon-DeMelo
Samberg-Schmidt
Miller

Health update:

Rick Bowness provided an update saying Nino Niederreiter is “probably out for about a week, hopefully not longer than that”. He added that Adam Lowry and Sean Monahan were maintenance and Logan Stanley was illness.
