Winnipeg head coach Paul Maurice is hoping Brendan Lemieux can provide something the Jets are sorely lacking.
Lemieux, a 21-year-old left-winger making his NHL debut tonight against the visiting Minnesota Wild (7 p.m., TSN3, TSN 1290), has an edginess to his game that bears a striking similarity to his famous father, former NHLer Claude Lemieux.
"Just his game, he’s an intense, kind of grindy, maybe flirting with that new-age power forward," Maurice said of the younger Lemieux following this morning's pre-game skate.
