The Winnipeg Jets will hit the ice in Washington on Sunday morning for a rare morning contest against the Capitals.
The Jets are coming off a lopsided loss to the Islanders and are in the final stop of a five-game road trip that has seen the team work its way through Columbus, New York, New Jersey, Long Island and now the District of Columbia.
Connor Hellebuyck is back in goal for Winnipeg, after being pulled midway through the second period on Saturday.
According to those on scene in D.C., the line combinations will look similar to that of how the Jets finished the game vs. New York, with some serious shuffling happening off the start.
Winnipeg Jets expected line combinations for Sunday, March 24 vs. Washington:
Ehlers-Scheifele-Appleton
Connor-Monahan-Namestnikov
Niederreiter-Lowry-Toffoli
Perfetti-Barron-Iafallo
Morrissey-DeMelo
Dillon-Pionk
Samberg-Schmidt
Hellebuyck
Injured: Vilardi
Health scratches: Gustafsson, Stanley, Miller, Kupari
