The Winnipeg Jets are coming off a gutsy 3-2 victory against the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday night. Goals by Mark Scheifele and Drew Stafford and the eventual game winner by Adam Lowry was enough to dispatch the Avs. Scott Kosmachuk scored his first NHL point as an assist on Lowry’s goal. Meanwhile, the Vancouver Canucks beat the Nashville Predators 4-2 in a late Saturday tilt.

Winnipeg Jets Projected Lineup:
Drew Stafford – Mark Scheifele – Blake Wheeler
Marco Dano – Alexander Burmistrov – Mathieu Perreault
Chris Thorburn – Adam Lowry – Scott Kosmachuk
JC Lipon – Andrew Copp – Matt Halischuk
Dustin Byfuglien – Jacob Trouba
Ben Chariot – Paul Postma
Ondrej Pavlec
Micheal Hutchinson
*Dustin Byfuglien is a game time decision. If he is a no go, then the Jets have recalled Julian Melchiori, and will shuffle around the d-corps accordingly.
Vancouver Canucks Projected Lineup:
Daniel Sedin – Henrik Sedin – Jake Virtanen
Sven Baertschi – Markus Granlund – Radim Vrbata
Jannick Hansen – Bo Horvat – Derek Dorsett
Jared McCann – Linden Vey – Emerson Etem
Ben Hutton – Chris Tanev
Player to jeer, not cheer and sneer at:
Pick a Sedin and boo 'em. It doesn't matter which one. I can't tell them apart anyways.
Prediction:
Jets 2-1
