Line Combinations - Game 3: Jets vs. Golden Knights

The Winnipeg Jets and Vegas Golden Knights have travelled to Winnipeg and will square of in Game 3 of their best-of-seven series from Canada Life Centre at 3:00 PM central time on Saturday.

With fans being granted early entrance to the arena and Whiteout Street Parties happening on the surrounding roadways, those attending Saturday's game are advised to account for major delays in the nearby downtown area.

With things knotted up at ones, the Jets were able to strangle home-ice advantage from the Golden Knights, as the series shifts to Winnipeg for two-straight games, and three of the remaining five.

Injured forwards Nikolaj Ehlers and Cole Perfetti have missed both postseason games, despite rejoining the team on the ice this past week. 

On Friday, head coach Rick Bowness said his hope was that Ehlers would receive medical clearance to play in Game 3, while hoping to see Perfetti return in the coming week. 

But it appears as though that won't be the case, with Ehlers needing to sit out yet another game injured.

Should neither player be able to go, the team will use the same lineup it has for Game 2. 

That said, the team will likely lace the same lineup it used in Game 2. 

But if Ehlers has gained that required clearance, he will slot back in with Vladislav Namestnikov and Blake Wheeler on the second line.

Morgan Barron will stay with Adam Lowry and Mason Appleton - a line that has worked extremely well for Winnipeg thus far - while Nino Niederreiter will remain in Ehlers' place alongside Blake Wheeler and Vladislav Namestnikov. David Gustafsson will remain with Kevin Stenlund and Saku Maenalanen on line four.

The defensive pairs will stay the same, while Connor Hellebuyck will once again get the start in goal for the Jets.

Expected lines for April 22 vs. Vegas:

Connor - Dubois - Scheifele

Niederreiter - Namestnikov - Wheeler

Barron - Lowry - Appleton

Gustafsson - Stenlund - Maenalanen

Morrissey - DeMelo

Dillon - Pionk

Samberg - Schmidt

Hellebuyck

Healthy scratches: Perfetti, Ehlers, Johnson-Fjallby, Kuhlman, Stanley, Capobianco
