Manager Rick Bowness declined to answer if his team will start with 12 forwards and 6 defenceman or 11 forwards and 7 defenceman.

Defenceman Capobianco remained after the morning training, suggesting that Winnipeg would start with 4 full lines of attackers.

Nikolaj, who played for the last time on April 11 when he injured his upper body versus the Minnesota Wild, was not with his teammates on the ice in training today.

The forward hopes to be able to play as soon as possible after the medical team clears him.
