The Jets look to even the series tonight in St. Louis in game four of this best of seven series. For now the projected lines below are simply based on what the Jets used in game 3.

Coach Maurice: Status of Patrik Laine? How much of Dustin Byfuglien’s Stanley Cup experience bleeds into the room? Putting Perreault-Hayes-Roslovic together. On a different type of “4th line” for the Jets. What makes Ben Chiarot a good partner for Dustin Byfuglien and what are his thoughts of Chiarot’s play in the playoffs? Is he monitoring Josh Morrissey’s minutes?

Schwartz-Sundqvist-Perron
