Getting Ready for Game One
After going 3-2-2 in the preseason, Winnipeg picked up two players off of the waivers, and needing to get under the salary cap, a trade which led to a slightly modified opening game lineup.
On the waivers GM Cloutier picked up Dimitrij Jaskins and Brett Connolly.
Defenseman Tobias Enstrom was traded along with unsigned prospect Erik Foley for Braydon Coburn.
The opening lineup is as follows:
Ehlers - Plekanec - Laine
Conner - Little - Wheeler
Burmitsov - Scheifele - Connolly
Matthias - Lowry - Stafford
Lindholm - Byfuglien
Trouba - Myers
Coburn - Potsma
Hellebyuck - Hutchinson
They play against the Hurricanes in Winnipeg.
