The Winnipeg Jets host the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday.
The 44-22-6 Winnipeg Jets take on the 39-25-8 Vegas Golden Knights from Canada Life Centre on Thursday.
Losers of four-straight games, the Jets will be playing in desperation mode, in hopes of preventing any further slide from their place in the Western Conference standings, as postseason play quickly approaches.
With another three tests left on their five-game homestand, the Jets will also need to figure out how to win again at home. Their last win at home came all the way back on March 15, while the team hasn't won back-to-back home tests since February.
With Rick Bowness back behind the bench in his second appearance since sitting our four games recovering from a minor medical procedure, the Jets' lineup will remain relatively unchanged following Tuesday's loss to Edmonton.
The two changes will be that of Cole Perfetti once again subbing out as a healthy scratch, while Dylan Samberg will come in for Nate Schmidt.
Connor Hellebuyck will get the nod in goal once again, as he starts his fourth-straight game and 54th of the season.
Winnipeg Jets expected line combinations for Thursday, March 28 vs. Vegas:
Connor-Scheifele-Iafallo
Ehlers-Monahan-Toffoli
Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton
Barron-Gustafsson-Namestnikov
Morrissey-DeMelo
Dillon-Pionk
