The Winnipeg Jets are loading up their defensive pairings in an attempt to get some offensive pop and more minutes to their Top 4 defenceman.
Jets coach Paul Maurice had Jacob Trouba paired with Dustin Byfuglien at practice Sunday morning and, coupled with the Toby Enstrom-Tyler Myers pairing, it is a look the team could carry into Tuesday’s home game with the St. Louis Blues.
The third pairing now features Ben Chiarot and Mark Stuart; Chiarot had been working with Byfuglien with Trouba teamed with Stuart.
