The game is part of the potential playoff preview in the Central division, with the Jets aiming for the division title. The match airs on Scotiabank Wednesday Night Hockey on Sportsnet.
#NHLJets then go: Iafallo-Nametstnikov-Ehlers after Lowry line. 4th line also staying the same, so it's a straight swap of Connor and Iafallo for the time being.
#NHLJets line changes: Ehlers-Namestnikov-Iafallo Connor-Monahan-Toffoli Third and fourth lines remain the same.
First two lines to start the second: Connor-Monahan-Toffoli Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton Perhaps Iafallo-Namestnikov-Ehlers afterward? The blender blends as it will; we merely respond to the blending.
#NHLJets early twist of the blender to start second: Connor-Monahan-Toffoli.
Nikolaj Ehlers is on power play one with Scheifele's absence. The unit has found Tyler Toffoli for a couple of nice looks early.
With Mark Scheifele sick tonight, Vladislav Namestnikov gets the first line bump between Kyle Connor and Nikolaj Ehlers. Rasmus Kupari draws into fourth line duty, while the defence pairs and the Connor Hellebuyck are the same as against Washington. https://t.co/GiyVPyGnUT
