The Jets played last night and didn’t hold a morning skate. Coach Maurice provided an update after 6 pm. Both Jacob Trouba and Josh Morrissey will both be in the lineup for the Jets. So D pairs will be unclear until after pre-game warm up as Dustin Byfuglien remains a question mark.
Update: Jets confirmed no Byfuglien after the warm-up skate.
Here is the projected lineup:
Ehlers-Little-Laine
Perreault-Scheifele-Wheeler
Copp-Lowry-Armia
Tanev-Petan-Thorburn
Melchiori-Trouba
Strait-Morrissey
Stuart-Nogier
Hutchinson
Hellebuyck
