Newly-acquired Brett MacLean is expected to be in the lineup Sunday for the Winnipeg Jets season-opening game against Montreal. MacLean skated in practice on a line with Alex Burmistrov and Nik Antropov and is excited about getting a chance to play with them. "It's great. Burmy and Antro are great players and they really helped me out a lot. It's been tough coming in to a little bit different system after just getting off a flight last night. I knew I was going to make mistakes, but I just wanted to go out there and play my game. They just told me I was going to get every opportunity to try and show I can play here. I'm just going to take that and whatever they give me I'll be happy for it." Keep an eye on MacLean in deeper leagues.
