Wild next up in Jets' quest for Central Division sweep week
ST. PAUL — The Winnipeg Jets will try to complete a week-long Central Division sweep when they take on the Minnesota Wild tonight in St. Paul.
The Jets are coming off home wins over division foes Dallas and Colorado but will be in tough against a Minnesota squad that has already beaten them twice this season and is desperately trying to get back into a playoff spot.
Coach Paul Maurice will stick with the status quo in his lineup, meaning Connor Hellebuyck makes a seventh straight start in net. Forward Nic Petan and defenceman Sami Niku will be the two healthy scratches, while Dustin Byfuglien and Nikolaj Ehlers remain out with injuries.
