Winnipeg Jets Give the Reins to Jack Roslovic After Ehlers Injury

The Winnipeg Jets needed to see more out of Jack Roslovic. But apparently Paul Maurice saw enough to have faith in him.

With Nikolaj Ehlers being injured against the Penguins, Winnipeg needed someone to fill his spot on the first line. I immediately thought Kyle Connor, who played up there with Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler most of last season.

But instead, Maurice and Co. opted to keep Connor on the second line and shake things up at the top. Jack Roslovic is moving up from the fourth line to play alongside the two best players on the Jets, while Nic Petan will move into the lineup for Roslovic.
