Some disappointment in Winnipeg after a 5-3 loss to Buffalo despite having a ton of chances and opportunity to win the game. Today they put the work in to get things cleaned up as they get ready to face the best team in the NHL with the Capitals in town tomorrow night.

Skate news:

As per Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press no Gabriel Vilardi at practice.

Lines & D pairs:

Connor-Scheifele-Iafallo
Ehlers-Lowry-Appleton
Niederreiter-Namestnikov-Perfetti
Tanev-Barron-Kupari
Gustafsson

Morrissey-DeMelo
Samberg-Schenn
Stanley-Miller
Fleury-Heinola

Health update:

Following skate head coach Scott Arniel said Vilardi is out “week-to-week” with an upper-body injury. He called it a “freak situation”. Arniel wasn’t prepared to talk about his availability for playoffs.

Up next:

The Jets will have a big game tomorrow night as they take on the best team in the east as the best team in the west.

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.
