The Winnipeg Jets applied major changes to their line up ahead of their fifth clash against the Colorado Avalanche.

At today's morning skate, we saw that head coach Rick Bowness decided to mix things up, with a completely revamped line up.
Mark Scheifele had called him out after their tough loss in game 4, saying the Avs made adjustments, while the Jets hadn't, and the coach listened to him.
Bowness replaced Kyle Connor on the first line by Nikolaj Ehlers. Tyler Toffoli was placed on the fourth line, while Cole Perfetti was added to the second line, still centered by Sean Monahan. David Gustafsson took Vladislav Namestnikov's spot on the fourth line, after he received a puck to the face.
At the blue line, Logan Stanley had to give up his spot at Colin Miller's expense.
Here's the full lineup, per John Lu:
"#NHLJets vs #Avalanche:
Ehlers - Scheifele- Vilardi
Connor - Monahan - Perfetti
Niederreiter - Lowry - Appleton
Iafallo - Gustafsson - Toffoli

Morrissey - DeMelo
Samberg - Pionk
Schmidt - Miller

Hellebuyck
Brossoit"

The Jets will have a big challenge on their hands: winning three straight games against the Avalanche. Their season could end tonight, and players will do all they can to make sure they stay in the running.
More to come.
