The Winnipeg Jets made several changes to their lineup in an effort to boost performance and end a losing streak. Players like Connor, Scheifele, and Vilardi were shuffled around different lines to increase offensive output. Coach Bowness praised Stanley's performance, earning him a spot in the lineup.
#NHLJets top line 7:30 into the third changed to Ehlers - Scheifele - Namestnikov, became Ehlers - Scheifele - Toffoli and is now Ehlers - Scheifele - Vilardi. Connor was moved to Monahan’s LW. @TSN_Edge
Winnipeg follows its power play goal with Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton and then Ehlers-Scheifele-Toffoli.
In an effort to try and find some offence, the line blender is out: Ehlers-Scheifele-Namestnikov Connor-Monahan-Toffoli
Want to end the #NHLJets losing streak? The next 40 minutes need to belong to Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi in a way the last 5 games did not belong to Connor and Scheifele. It seems a tough ask, given that the trio is 9-9 in goals this season and this is Vilardi's first game back. https://t.co/LMlNpezfzU
