Avalanche keeping MacKinnon, Landeskog and Rantanen’s line broken up vs. Winnipeg

The Avalanche’s lines in Wednesday night’s game against the Winnipeg Jets will again look as if coach Jared Bednar drew names from a hat. There is a method to his madness, however, and Bednar wants to stick with what helped deliver a 3-0 victory over the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday.

Top scorers Nathan MacKinnon, Mikko Rantanen and Gabe Landeskog — who formerly comprised the top line in hockey — will again play on separate lines at even strength. MacKinnon will center Alex Kerfoot and Sven Andrighetto; Rantanen is the right winger with center Carl Soderberg and Matt Nieto; Landeskog is the left wing with center Tyson Jost and Matt Calvert.
