The Winnipeg Jets return home to take on the St. Louis Blues, who have won 12 games in a row.

The Jets could receive reinforcements tonight with the addition of Nikolaj Ehlers. The 29-year-old blocked a shot and was later hit by a Cole Perfetti shot against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday, forcing him to miss Saturday's loss to Utah HC. 

His offensive creativity was thoroughly missed despite his absence spanning just one game. His 24 goals and 63 points in 67 games have him ranked fourth and third on the team. If his game-time decision status is upgraded, he'll return alongside his usual linemates, Vladislav Namestnikov and Perfetti, and will also retake his spot on the first power play unit.

Coming out of the lineup would be David Gustafsson, as Jarrett Anderson-Dolan has left a lasting impression on HC Scott Arniel.

On the backend, Colin Miller did not participate in this morning's skate, replaced by Haydn Fleury. Miller has recorded four goals and 14 points in 59 games, but is also deemed a game-time decision with an illness.

If he is unable to play, Fleury will check back into the lineup, paired with Logan Stanley. Fleury has played 37 games this season, registering seven assists. Without Neal Pionk, Fleury will take Miller's placeholder spot as the quarterback of the second power play unit. 

It'll take a team effort and a stellar night in goal from Connor Hellebuyck to defeat the Blues tonight. They are by far the hottest team in the NHL and have continuously found ways to win hockey games.
