Florida Panthers Make Lineup Change Before Rematch with Jets

The Florida Panthers are coming off a big win against the Winnipeg Jets, but will still make a lineup change tonight in the rematch.

Florida coach Paul Maurice said that Jonah Gadjovich will be back tonight in Winnipeg on the right side of the fourth line.

Mackie Samoskevich will come out.

Samoskevich had replaced Gadjovich in Saturday’s 5-0 win over the Jets in Sunrise — and scored the game’s first goal when he deflected a Gus Forsling shot past Connor Hellebuyck.

— Jesper Boqvist, who did not skate Monday, is back after being hit low by Winnipeg defendseman Neal Pionk on Saturday. Pionk was fined $5,000 for clipping.

— The starting goalies: It will be a rematch of Saturday with Sergei Bobrovsky going against Hellebuyck.

— Maurice says he knows Winnipeg fans will have some interesting chants for his team Tuesday — but he complimented Florida’s fans for their ‘overrated’ missives at the Jets over the weekend.

“I kind of like the awareness,’’ Maurice said. “There was some respect there because they follow the game now, they follow the team, and knew the Jets were off to a historic start.’’
