While the Jets haven’t played many games at Bell MTS Place of late they are 5-1-1 in their last seven games. They welcome a Ducks team that is just 4-7-2 on the road so far this season.
We learned in practice on Saturday that newest Jets forward Nick Shore will centre the 4th line and that Connor Hellebuyck starts in net.
