The Jets roll into Arizona having had their five-game point streak stopped in Vegas on Thursday. They kick off the first of three straight against Central Division opponents with this afternoon’s contest against the Coyotes.
Skate news:
No skate with it being a matinee. When Jets assistant coach Marty Johnston was asked on Friday who was starting in net he wasn’t ready to reveal that info.
Jets projected lines & D pairs:
Connor-Scheifele-Iafallo
Perfetti-Namestnikov-Ehlers
Niederreiter-Lowry-Appleton
Barron-Kupari-Gustafsson
Morrissey-DeMelo
Dillon-Pionk
Samberg-Schmidt
Hellebuyck
Brossoit
Betway Odds:
These are no longer the cellar dweller Coyotes as Arizona currently sits one point ahead of Winnipeg with the same numbers of games played. Unlike the Jets who currently have a -7 goal differential the Coyotes are sitting at +5 and continue to play well at Mullett Arena with a 3-1-0 record. Despite all of the above the oddmakers see the visitors as the current favourites in this contest. Be sure to check out the latest game day odds from Betway.
