Jets head coach not ready to shuffle lines to get Patrik Laine out of his scoring slump
OTTAWA -- So, Paul Maurice. Your team just got embarrassed on the road, your top line got caved in and your superstar sniper is still stuck in the worst slump of his life.
Maybe it’s time to try a little outside the box thinking and change things up? I mean, what’s the worst thing that could happen?
I put the suggestion to the Winnipeg Jets bench boss Friday afternoon during his team’s optional practice here in the nation’s capital, figuring maybe Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler could use the change of scenery as much as Patrik Laine could after what can only be described as a rough day at the office.
