DENVER - The Winnipeg Jets will try to even their series with the Colorado Avalanche today at Ball Arena in Game 4 of the best-of-seven series.
Colorado has won the last two games after Winnipeg took Game 1, so the Jets will try to earn a split in Denver to send the series back home to Canada Life Centre all tied up at two.
With the early puck drop, neither team will hold a morning skate. Jets head coach Rick Bowness met with reporters just over two hours ahead of puck drop and said that Brenden Dillon will not play in Game 4. Of course, the Jets defenceman suffered a scary cut on his hand late in Game 3 and is listed as day-to-day. Bowness didn't rule out Dillon for Game 5, however.
Up front, Axel Jonsson-Fjallby will also make his series debut with David Gustafsson coming out of the line-up.
The projected line-up looks like this:
Connor-Scheifele-Vilardi
Ehlers-Monahan-Toffoli
Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton
Jonsson-Fjallby-Namestnikov-Iafallo
Morrissey-DeMelo
Samberg-Pionk
Stanley-Schmidt
Connor Hellebuyck starts in goal for the Jets.
