Because Brayden Schenn is out with an upper-body injury and Torey Krug, Niko Mikkola, Kyle Clifford and Ville Husso aren't available while in COVID-19 protocol, Berube is already dressing every player currently on the road trip with the exception of Oskar Sundqvist, who is skating but remains on long-term injured reserve.
There is something worth noting about Tuesday's projected lineup, though, and that's that Jake Neighbours is in it.
Neighbours will be playing in his ninth NHL game, meaning it's the final game before General Manager Doug Armstrong must decide whether to keep Neighbours in the NHL or return him to his junior team for the season.
"Overall, I think he's done really well," Berube said of Neighbours. "He's a smart player like I've always said, he's killed penalties for us in these eight games, done a great job, he's scored a goal, he's around the puck all the time, has a nose for the puck. It's going to be a learning process for him, a kid that young coming into the League."
Below is a projected lineup based on Tuesday's morning skate in Winnipeg.
