The Winnipeg Jets are loading up their pairings in an attempt to get some offensive pop and more minutes for their Top 4 defencemen.
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 against the St. Louis Blues.
The third pairing features Ben Chiarot and Mark Stuart; Chiarot had been working with Byfuglien with Trouba teamed with Stuart.
"It’s an interesting dynamic to have a one-time shot with a guy who can move the puck as well as Buff does," said Maurice.
