Laine, Dubois, Morrissey: Three skaters to watch as Jets conclude back-to-back against Blue Jackets (7:00 pm CT, TSN 3)

Right now, these are very tough times for the Winnipeg Jets. Following a crushing 5-2 defeat to the Ottawa Senators one night ago, this club’s slim playoff chances are looking extremely grim, as they’re five points behind the second wild-card seed and trail three other teams (Dallas Stars, Vegas Golden Knights, Vancouver Canucks) for that spot. Adding to their plate, former Jets Patrik Laine and Jack Roslovic will be returning to Canada Life Centre on Friday, as Winnipeg concludes its back-to-back series against the Columbus Blue Jackets. The one-year anniversary (Jan. 23) of this blockbuster trade has already long passed, still, it should be a special moment for one – and possibly both – of these forwards. Suffice to say, there’s no time to rest for the Jets as they hope to rebound from their most recent defeat. With that in mind, let’s explore three skaters to keep an eye on during this upcoming clash. Last Game: One hit, 15:51 minutes It was a rare off night for Laine on Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Pen
