Winnipeg is coming off a commanding 8-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday, and will look to keep the good times rolling against an always competitive Vegas club that has had its way against the Jets in recent memory.
Winnipeg will be without David Gustafsson, who is now in concussion protocol following a one-punch knockout by Trent Frederic in the third period of Tuesday’s game against Boston.
Rasmus Kupari will slot back in in his absence. The rest of the forward groupings and defence pairs will also remain the same for Tuesday’s game.
