SWITCHING COPP AND STASTNY
Paul Maurice has flipped his left wingers on his second and third lines tonight. Andrew Copp will slot alongside Pierre-Luc Dubois and Mathieu Perreault and Paul Stastny will skate with Adam Lowry and Mason Appleton.
"I feel like I'm creating pretty good right now," said Andrew Copp about the line change.
"Just trying to make my line mates better up and down the ice. Obviously, Dubie and Frenchy have a little familiarity and I'm just trying to fit in and try and make our line dangerous."

MANUFACTURING EMOTION
With a playoff spot already clinched, the Jets may have been lacking in emotion on Saturday in their 4-2 loss to the Ottawa Senators. Three games remain on the Jets regular season schedule and none of them really mean anything outside of making sure their game is right before the postseason. The challenge has been manufacturing emotion especially on home ice without fans in the building.
"It makes it very difficult to get wired for these games. So, we've got to find it inside," said Paul Maurice.
"It's a challenge but that's our job."
ROAD TEAM RULES
The road team has won six of the seven games between the Jets and Canucks this season. The Jets outscored the Canucks 15-4 in winning all four games in Vancouver, which extended their winning streak at Rogers Arena to eight games
200 AND COUNTING FOR BOESER
Scoring just 34 seconds into the first period on May 4/21 vs Edmonton, Brock Boeser recorded his 200th career NHL point (94-106-200). Accomplishing the milestone in just his 244th career regular season game, Boeser became the fourth fastest player to reach 200 points in Canucks history, behind Pavel Bure (174), Patrik Sundstrom (216), and Stan Smyl (239).
