The Montreal Canadiens downed the Winnipeg Jets in their first meeting of the season, how will tonight’s contest play out?

The visiting Habs are dealing with a slew of injuries, so it’s not only the Jets who will be without some talented players this evening. Check out the projected lines below….

Ehlers – Scheifele – Vilardi
Perfetti – Namestnikov – Iafallo

Montreal Canadiens Lineup

I have to say that I am a bit nervous about tonight’s game….admittedly, I am generally kind of a high-strung person so feeling like that might not be related to the Jets-Habs clash at all. 😉

Here’s hoping that Winnipeg takes Montreal seriously and continues their dominance of the Eastern Conference.
