Iginla, Jokinen split up
By STEVE MACFARLANE, SUN MEDIA




Head coach Brent Sutter has finally had enough of his dynamic duo on the top line.

Jarome Iginla and Olli Jokinen have new linemates for Friday's clash against the Vancouver Canucks.

Iginla has been reunited with longtime friend and centre Craig Conroy, with Curtis Glencross manning the left wing.

Jokinen is minding the middle between Eric Nystrom and Fredrik Sjostrom.

The move has been anticipated for a while even though the Jokinen/Iginla pairing has had just seven regular-season games to work out the kinks. They struggled down the stretch together last season, and haven't lived up to expectations that were only heightened by some spectacular plays they made during the exhibition schedule.













Do you think the NHL will ever return to Quebec City?
  Yes, no matter what
  Yes, with a new rink
  No, market too small
  No, not a priority
