Jets lineup tonight: Winnipeg's projected lineup for Game 2 against St. Louis Blues | Stanley Cup Playoffs, Round 1, April 21, 2025

The Winnipeg Jets are back in action on Monday night at Canada Life Centre for Game 2 of their first-round series with the St. Louis Blues. Winnipeg leads the series 1-0, thanks to a huge third-period comeback en route to a 5-3 win over St. Louis on Saturday night.

The Jets (116 points) had a dominant regular season, winning the Presidents' Trophy, and now face a lot of pressure to make a deep run in these playoffs. Meanwhile, the Blues (96 points) have been the hottest team in hockey since the 4 Nations Face-Off and are looking to pull off the big upset in Round 1.

Key forwards Nikolaj Ehlers (foot) and Gabriel Vilardi (upper body) both remain unavailable for Game 2 on Monday night. Vilardi did practice on Sunday and appears to be closing in on a return, though Ehlers hasn't started skating and is listed as week-to-week.
