Line Combinations: Jets vs. Blackhawks

The Winnipeg Jets will hit the ice against the Chicago Blackhawks for the second of four-straight home games on Thursday night. 

Winnipeg will take on a Central Division opponent for the second time in three games, as the Connor Bedard-less Blackhawks make their way into town for the second time this season.

The Jets will start Laurent Brossoit in net, giving Connor Hellebuyck a day off before he gets back in goal for Saturday's contest against the Philadelphia Flyers. 

The only other change is the possibility of the team going with an 11/7 split on offence/defence, as fourth line winger Axel Jonsson-Fjallby is under the weather. 

Head coach Rick Bowness says that if AJF is unable to go on Thursday night, the team would resort to the 11/7 split, with Logan Stanley the individual likely coming into action.

Winnipeg Jets expected line combinations for Thursday, January 11 vs. the Chicago Blackhawks:

Ehlers-Scheifele-Vilardi 

Perfetti-Namestnikov-Iafallo
