Line Combinations: Jets vs. Canucks
The Winnipeg Jets are back on home ice Thursday evening, welcoming the Vancouver Canucks to Canada Life Centre for a 7:00 p.m. CT puck drop.
Winnipeg appears set to make several changes to its forward combinations, including a new-look second line featuring Cole Perfetti, Brayden Yager and Dawson Mercer. The Jets also continue to experiment with defenceman Tyrel Bauer at forward, while Josh Morrissey remains sidelined.
Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele and Gabriel Vilardi will skate together on the top line, while Perfetti and Mercer are expected to flank Yager on the second unit.
