Game 52: Jets vs Avalanche pre-game report

The Jets took yesterday off and find themselves today in Colorado to take on an incredibly tough Avalanche squad who are 21-3-2 at home so far this season. The Jets have lost three straight and are desperate for a win as they sit six points back of the second wild card spot.

Skate news:

Only Jets media folks in attendance this morning at skate with travel issues for outside media folks so no insight on the lineup ahead of puck drop. We will have to check back for warm-up skate to verify. For now the projections are based on last game.

As per Mitchell Clinton of JetsTV the only change is Poganski up to the third line and Vesalainen to the fourth.
