Line Combinations: Jets vs. Wild

The Winnipeg Jets are back in action Tuesday evening, welcoming the Minnesota Wild to Canada Life Centre for another Central Division matchup.

Winnipeg will once again be without top defenceman Josh Morrissey, while head coach Scott Arniel has made several adjustments to his forward lines ahead of Tuesday's contest. Stuart Skinner will get the start between the pipes, with Clay Stevenson serving as his backup.

Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele and Cole Perfetti remain together on Winnipeg's top line, while Nino Niederreiter moves into the top six alongside rookie Viggo Björck and Gabriel Vilardi.

Isak Rosén will skate alongside captain Adam Lowry and Alex Iafallo on the third line, while Vladislav Namestnikov, Morgan Barron and Cole Koepke round out the forward group. Brad Lambert was the extra forward at morning skate and is expected to be a healthy scratch.

With Morrissey still unavailable, Mario Ferraro and Neal Pionk will form Winnipeg's top defensive pairing. Dylan Samberg and Dylan DeMelo remain together on the second unit, while Haydn Fleury and Tyrel Bauer round out the defensive group.

Elias Salomonsson continues to work his way back from injury and was skating alongside Jack St. Ivany as the extra defensive pairing. Neither is expected to dress against Minnesota.
