Thomas' Three Storylines - BOS @ WPG

EPIC TEST
The Jets come home for one game only and it's against the NHL's best team, the Boston Bruins. Fortunately, Winnipeg is coming off one of their best road games of the season even though it turned out to be a 5-3 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. Rick Bowness said today that he's really like the way his team has played over the past six contests. In fact, they held one of the highest shot volume teams to just 25 shots on goal and that is a great sign ahead of tonight's clash with the Bruins, who lead the NHL in goals against per game and are second in goals for per game this season.

MORRISSEY BACK
Winnipeg got some good news and some bad news after the morning skate. First, the good news. Josh Morrissey who missed the last two games of the road trip will return to the lineup tonight. Morrissey was back alongside Dylan DeMelo and will quarterback the top power play unit. The Calgary product is second on the team in scoring with 67 points (15G, 52A) in 66 games. The bad news is that even though he took the morning skate, Pierre-Luc Dubois will miss his fifth straight contest and eighth game of the last nine. Bowness will go back to the lines that he ran in Raleigh without Dubois.
BRUINS SLIDING
Every NHL team has its ups and downs in a regular season, the Bruins have dropped three of their last four games including a 5-3 setback in Chicago on Tuesday night. Jim Montgomery said there was no reason for physical fatigue at the United Center, but the team played like they were tired. Montgomery also added the Bruins are giving up more odd man rushed than they are getting and there are a lot of things the team isn't doing very well as a group right now.
