The Winnipeg Jets are determined to make me stay up late on a work night just to watch them play hockey. It has been a day already and I hope the Jets have had a better day than I have. Anyways, the Jets are playing their nemesis on the West Coast tonight and it is another chance to see who is superior: Nikolaj Ehlers or Jake Virtanen.
Winnipeg Jets Lineup:
Nikolaj Ehlers – Mark Scheifele – Blake Wheeler
Kyle Connor – Bryan Little – Patrik Laine
Andrew Copp – Adam Lowry – Brandon Tanev
Nic Petan – Jack Roslovic – Mathieu Perreault
Ben Chiarot – Dustin Byfuglien
Laurent Brossoit (bench)
Vancouver Canucks Lines:
Tim Schaller – Bo Horvat – Markus Granlund
Nikolay Goldobin – Elias Pettersson – Loui Eriksson
Antoine Roussel – Adam Gaudette – Jake Virtanen
Brendan Leipsic – Brendan Gaunce – Tyler Motte
Chris Hutton – Erik Gundbranson
Derrick Pouliot – Chris Tanev
Michael Del Zotto – Troy Stetcher
Jacob Markstrom* (starting)
Richard Bachman (bench)
*I remember during the World Junior Championship in Ottawa where Eberle scored that goal against Russia and Pierre McGuire ruined the moment, that Markstrom was unbeatable until Canada put a five-spot on him in the Gold Medal Game. Good times.
