If you're Mark Scheifele, and you're playing in the MTS Centre in Winnipeg, and you score a hat-trick, people are going to cheer, and cheer loudly! Scheifele is certainly making a case to be added to the Under 23 squad for the World Cup in September! Andrew Copp scored his second goal of the week, JC Lipon had his first NHL point as an assist on Copp's goal, and Josh Morrissey had just under 16 minutes of ice time in a great debut. After less than 24 hours, let's see how they perform tonight, as the Winnipeg Jets in the last back to back of the season, and take on the Edmonton Oilers in Hometown Hockey.
Here's the coach after last night's game…
TV:
6pm CST, SN, TSN1290
Winnipeg Jets Projected Lineup:
Mathieu Perreault – Mark Scheifele – Blake Wheeler
Joel Armia – Alexander Burmistrov – Drew Stafford
Chris Thorburn – Adam Lowry – Marko Dano
Matt Halischuk – Andrew Copp – JC Lipon
Dustin Byfuglien – Toby Enstrom
Tyler Myers – Jacob Trouba
Ben Chariot – Paul Postma
Micheal Hutchinson
*No pre-game skate for the Winnipeg Jets today, except for Jacob Trouba, who will be a game time decision. If Trouba is a no go, then expect Josh Morrissey to take his spot.
Edmonton Oilers Projected Lineup:
Taylor Hall – Leon Draisaitl – Patrick Maroon
Nail Yakupov – Connor McDavid – Jordan Eberle
Lauri Korpikoski – Mark Letestu – Zack Kassian
Matt Hendricks – Anton Lander – Adam Cracknell
Andrej Sekera – Mark Fayne
Darnell Nurse – Brandon Davidson
Adam Pardy – Adam Clendening
Player to boo, hiss and throw your beer at!:
Ain't no Pardy like an Adam Pardy! (Just kidding, he's a good guy!)
Prediction:
Jets 2-1
