Does Kupari get a chance with Lowry and Nino tonight?

Here’s what I’m hoping for

Connor-Scheifele-Ehlers
Nino-Lambert-Vilardi
Namestnikov-Lowry-Kupari
JAD-Gus-Ford
I’m guessing they play Ehlers with Lambert as that is how they practiced yesterday. If you want to give the kid a good look you want to see if he can build a little consistency.

Olympia, Washington (from Ft. Garry)
My guess:
Connor Schief Vilardi
Ehlers Lambert Names
Nino Lowry Kupari
A-D Guss Ford

Could also see them running Nino - Lowry - Names and one of the 4th liners playing a placeholder (kupari) for perfetti on lamberts line (to see how that Lowry line works in case Lambert can lock down 2C)
I like the looks of that second line. Here’s hoping we get to see that.

I'm hoping that's the plan -
IMO, the second line is the one that needs to be sorted out - and I see it as a very important pce in the success of the Jets TY -
The top line is what it is - and hopefully we see more determination from that group (meaning compete) - I'm hopeful.

But the line that I'm most excited about is that second line - add Cole and provide Lambert a few reps in the middle.
If they can get that group clicking, we might have that additional scoring we've been looking for.
And not forgetting Names, wouldn't it be nice to add him to our bottom six?

Kupari really needs to show something sooner than later, after the hype about him turned into a big turd all last season!

I wouldn't be surprised if the lines going to Minnesota are something like

Perfetti-Lambert-Barlow
Iafallo-Yager-Chibrikov
Barron-Toninato-Appleton
Torgersson-Shaw-AJF,

to give Lambert a different look, with Perfetti, but more size on the wing. And some finish.

Hopefully the Jets send Samberg and Pionk to Minnesota too...I wouldn't mind seeing Stanley and Miller get a look tonight as the prospective 3rd pairing, to see what is really there, and have Lundmark play with Salomonsson, which would be I think an improvement over what Anhorn/Sauntner can add to the rook's game, with the Moose.

I recall Connor killing penalties in the past couple of years. I can't recall if he was any good at it though
Bones didn't play him too much on the PK (or maybe that was Arniel running the PK the last two years?).

But before that, I thought he was decently effective - didn't get lost as much as he seems to at 5v5. There's a little more structure to the PK system and he seemed to know where he was supposed to be.

Statistically, in 2021-22 (the last year he played significant PK time) he was the best, or 2nd best Jet with >100 TOI on the PK in CA/60, FA/60, GA/60 and xGA/60.
