Carter Brooks Winnipeg Jets Postgame Report The Winnipeg Jets will welcome rookie phenom Connor Bedard and the Chicago Blackhawks to Canada Life Centre for a matinee affair on Saturday. Having dropped the opening two games of the homestand, Winnipeg will look to snap its three-game losing streak and pick up a valuable two points in a Central Division showdown from downtown Winnipeg. The Jets will have some changes to their lineup, as Declan Chisholm draws in on defence for Nate Schmidt, while Vlad Namestnikov will miss Saturday's game with a lower-body injury. Gabriel Vilardi will shift up onto the second line, with Cole Perfetti remaining the centreman. Morgan Barron will fall back into his fourth line winger role, as David Gustafsson also draws back into the lineup thanks to Namestnikov's injury. Winnipeg Jets expected line combinations for Saturday, December 2 vs. Chicago: Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers Vilardi-Perfetti-Iafallo Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton Barron-Gustafsson-Jonsson-Fjallby Morrissey-DeMelo Dillon-Pionk Chisholm-Samberg Hellebuyck The game can be viewed live on TSN at 2:00 PM central time.
