Winnipeg Jets (24-13-3)

@ Montreal Canadiens (17-11-9)

 

Starting Goalies:

Connor Hellebuyck (WPG): Confirmed

Jake Allen (MON): Confirmed

 

Current odds:

Winnipeg Jets: (+110)

Montreal Canadiens: (-130)

 

• Winnipeg Jets captain Blake Wheeler and Montreal Canadiens goaltender Carey Price might be the most well-known names on their teams’ current rosters. But neither will be available when the Jets and the Canadiens wrap up a two-game series Saturday in Montreal. Wheeler remains sidelined with a concussion and was left at home when the Jets’ hit the road for a five-game Eastern Canada trip. Price won’t be available for the Canadiens until next week with a lower-body injury.

• Wheeler took an elbow from Ottawa’s Brady Tkachuk on Monday and coach Paul Maurice said Wheeler started feeling worse over the next couple of days. Wheeler had played in every game for the past three calendar years — 194 consecutive games dating back to April 3, 2018 — and had missed only six in the 10 seasons since the franchise relocated from Atlanta.

• Trevor Lewis, Josh Morrissey, Nikolaj Ehlers and Andrew Copp scored for the Jets, and Connor Hellebuyck made 36 saves. The Jets took a 3-1 lead in the first period and held on to move eight points ahead of the Canadiens for third place in the North Division.

• Montreal’s Jake Allen made 23 saves in his second straight start for the ailing Price. The Canadiens gave up a goal in the game’s opening minute for the second straight game, as Morrissey scored just 18 seconds in.

• Ducharme said Price’s injury has been lingering, and he experienced discomfort during the 3-2 overtime victory Monday against Edmonton and didn’t travel for Wednesday’s game at Toronto.
