The debut was delayed a few weeks due to injuries. But the Winnipeg Jets rolled out their strongest lineup of the year Sunday, one which included centres Mark Scheifele, Paul Stastny, Bryan Little and Adam Lowry playing together for the very first time.
It is the deepest the Jets have been up the middle, not only this season but in the seven years since they returned to Winnipeg. And it hasn't gone unnoticed around the league.
"What you're saying is the Beatles are back together," Dallas Stars head coach Ken Hitchcock told the Free Press Sunday when asked to assess the centre ice depth of his opponent.
