CHICAGO — Paul Maurice is hoping the status quo can get his team out of the woods.
There will be no lineup changes tonight as the Winnipeg Jets try to snap a three-game losing streak when they take on the Chicago Blackhawks. That means Connor Hellebuyck makes a fifth straight start in net, while the lines and defence pairings from Saturday night's lacklustre 3-1 loss to the Montreal Canadiens will remain intact.
Both clubs have plenty to fight for.
The Jets are in danger of not only falling out of first place in the Central Division, but losing home-ice advantage in the opening round of the playoffs, which begin next week.
