The Forty-Eight Sweater The 14-8-2 Winnipeg Jets travel to Denver for the first test of a four-game road trip through the Western Conference. They take on their only Central Division opponent on Thursday in a tilt with Nathan MacKinnon and the 16-7-2 Colorado Avalanche. Set for an 8:00 PM central time puck drop, viewers in the Jets region can catch the game (and all games of the road trip for that matter) on TSN. Winnipeg is expected to dress a similar lineup to that of Monday's game, with the exception of moving back to a conventional 12/6 split. According to those on scene in Colorado, it appears the Jets will dress Logan Stanley, while Declan Chisholm joins Nate Schmidt as a healthy scratch. Vladislav Namestnikov, who was only expected to miss "one or two games" joined the main group later on Thursday afternoon, indicating he still needs some recovery time. On the other side of things, it is expected that defenceman Cale Makar returns for Colorado. Winnipeg Jets expected line combinations for Thursday, December 7 at Colorado: Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers Vilardi-Perfetti-Iafallo Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton Barron-Gustafsson-Jonsson-Fjallby Morrissey-DeMelo Dillon-Pionk Stanley-Samberg Hellebuyck Healthy Scratches: Nate Schmidt, Declan Chisholm Injured: Vladislav Namestnikov, Rasmus Kupari, Ville Heinola
