Game 29: Jets vs. Panthers pre-game report

A look at the game 29 projected lineups and pre-game audio.

The Jets are looking to overcome a poor start to the road trip after dropping a 5-1 decision to Detroit on Tuesday.  The Panthers fell to the Islanders on Monday with a 5-4 shootout loss although the bigger loss was goalie Roberto Luongo who is out for an ‘extended period of time’ with a reported groin injury.

Morning skate notes:

Biggest change to the Jets this morning is as Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun notes, Eric Comrie looks like he will be making his second career NHL start.

Jets projected lines, D Pairs and  starting goalie:

Connor – Scheifele – Wheeler
Ehlers – Little – Laine
Copp – Lowry – Tanev
Perreault – Hendricks – Armia

Morrissey – Trouba
Chiarot – Byfuglien

Jacob Trouba

Dmitry Kulikov

Coach Maurice:  On why today makes sense to get Eric Comrie in net tonight.  Was fatigue a factor for Hellebuyck in last game?  On bouncing back from tough games.  On Barkov’s game.  On the Panthers team.  What has stood out about Ben Chiarot since he has come back into the lineup?
