Game 23: Jets vs Ducks pre-game report

The Jets are looking to erase the bad taste that was left in their mouths after their loss to the Blue Jackets on Friday. Their Ducks opponent played yesterday in St. Paul where they lost in a shootout to the Wild.

Based on practice yesterday it would appear that Jansen Harkins might be coming out and Axel Jonsson-Fjallby will draw back in but ultimately, we will have to wait and see how things play out during warm-up skate 30 minutes before puck drop.

Skate news:

No skate today with it being an afternoon game.

Jets projected lines & D pairs:

Perfetti-Scheifele-Wheeler
Connor-Dubois-Gagner
Barron-Lowry-Maenalanen
Jonsson Fjallby-Gustafsson-Eyssimont
