Brad Lambert makes his season debut as the Jets face the Flames. Unpack Winnipeg's evolving forward lines and defense pairings against Calgary.
The 4-0-1 Winnipeg Jets have travelled out west and are set to take on the 1-5-0 Calgary Flames for the first of two matches in a three-game span.
Following Monday evening's game, the Jets will return home to Canada Life Centre for a Thursday night affair with Seattle, before hosting the same Flames on Friday. They will close out their three-game homestand against Utah on Sunday.
Connor Hellebuyck will once again get the start for Winnipeg on Monday, while the majority of the rest of the lineup will stay intact from the past weekend of fun.
The lone exception will be that of Brad Lambert (who was recently recalled from the Manitoba Moose) draw in for Parker Ford. Lambert's recall came following the re-assignment of Kale Clague to Manitoba, leaving one open roster spot. He will make his season debut on Monday, looking to maintain the final roster spot - one that has seen Nikita Chibrikov and Parker Ford cycle through over the past two weeks.

Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi

Koepke-Barron-Pearson
Morrissey-DeMelo
Stanley-Pionk
