    The Winnipeg Jets host the Toronto Maple Leafs from Canada Life Centre on Saturday.

    The Toronto Maple Leafs roll into Winnipeg on Saturday evening for the second half of the extended home-and-home between the two clubs. 

    The Leafs got the better of the Jets on Wednesday, as Auston Matthews scored the overtime winner on a combination of Jets defensive zone mistakes in final minute of overtime.

    Laurent Brossoit will get the night off after coming up 46 seconds short of a shutout, as Connor Hellebuyck will get the nod between the pipes Saturday.

    Offensively, the Jets' lines will be a bit of a mess, as Mark Scheifele will not be making his return to the fold, despite skating in his regular Line 1 spot on Friday.

    Gabe Vilardi and Josh Morrissey are game-time decisions, but are expected to play.

    Winnipeg Jets expected line combinations for Saturday, January 27 vs. Toronto:

    Connor-Namestnikov-Ehlers

    Perfetti-Kupari-Vilardi

    Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton

    Barron-Toninato-Iafallo

    Morrissey-DeMelo

    Pionk-Dillon

    Samberg-Schmidt

    Hellebuyck

    Injured: Scheifele, Gustafsson

    Healthy scratch: Jonsson-Fjallby, Stanley, Chisholm

    Puck drop is set for 6:00 PM centre time. The game can be viewed on Sportsnet.
