Line Combinations: Jets vs. Bruins

The 20-9-0 Winnipeg Jets are set to do battle with the 15-11-3 Boston Bruins

Having lost their first test of a four-game homestand to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday evening, Winnipeg will be extra hungry in its test with the resurgent Bruins.

An Original Six matchup, Tuesday's game will certainly bring out a number of yellow-clad fans to Canada Life Centre. But the need to win at home for the Jets is nearing a high, as Winnipeg has now lost two-straight home contests, and hasn't picked up a victory in Winnipeg since the 6-3 over Florida back on November 19.

Brad Lambert has been sent down to Manitoba, while Nikita Chibrikov has earned a call-up in place of Lambert, who was filling in within the top-six en lieu of the injured Nikolaj Ehlers.

Connor Hellebuyck will return to the goal for the Jets, as he hopes to pick up the pieces following Eric Comrie's decent showing on Sunday.

Ville Heinola will draw back into the lineup in place of Colin Miller. He will skate with Logan Stanley on the third defence pairing. While David Gustafsson will make a return to the lineup on the Jets’ third line.
