ST. LOUIS — Paul Maurice is breaking out the line blender as the Winnipeg Jets try to get back into their playoff series against the St. Louis Blues tonight.
Based on the morning skate at Enterprise Center, it appears three of the four lines will have a new look. Only the top unit of Mark Scheifele between Kyle Connor and Blake Wheeler remains intact.
Bryan Little will move up to centre a second line with Patrik Laine and Nikolaj Ehlers, while a TLC reunion of Brandon Tanev, Adam Lowry and Andrew Copp is in the works. That means trade-deadline addition Kevin Hayes drops to the fourth line, skating between Jack Roslovic and Mathieu Perreault.
