Any word on line combinations?
I am hoping Appleton leapfrogs Shaw, onto the checking line. Probably be the same 4th line, the way Maurice has patient this year. I'd be surprised if Harkins played. But I'd expect him to start on the wing if he does. I think he could have a bigger impact that Luoto. With Perreault and Copp out, Jets are going to need a couple of guys to step up on the PP. Shore probably steps up. Does Harkins get a shot? Poolman? PK will miss Copp, hopefully someone else can fill his skates.
Jets are going to need some heavy lifting from their stars to grind out a win.
