Winnipeg Jets Practice Report

While the focus in the city is mostly on the Alumni game which takes place in a few hours we shouldn’t forget that tomorrow’s Heritage Classic between the Jets and Oilers will count for two points. Since it is an afternoon start the Jets won’t have a game day skate so you should expect these to be the lines on Sunday. Via Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun the lines at the MTS Centre are as follows:

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

Morrissey-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Myers
Stuart/Chiarot-Postma

Hutchinson & Hellebuyck

Coach Audio:

Paul Maurice: On how this type of event is different? Who are some of his heroes he got to meet? What does he want his players to learn from the alumni? Unique preparation for the game. Laine having even more eyes on him, how will that effect him? On whether he will put the veterans in the lineup for today’s game? Status of Little.

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.
