For the Jets, defenseman Dylan DeMelo will be out, with Colin Miller stepping into the lineup. DeMelo`s absence is officially undisclosed, although he had missed practice on Wednesday due to maintenance.
The Blues, who used seven defensemen in Game 2, are returning to a standard six-defenseman setup for Game 3. Veteran blueliner Ryan Suter is being scratched, and forward Alexandre Texier will enter the lineup for the first time in the series.
Winnipeg holds a 2-0 lead in the series as the action shifts to St. Louis for Game 3.
