Health Update:
Jets defenceman Dustin Byfuglien left the game in the 3rd period and coach Maurice was asked post-game about his status “We’ll take a look at Dustin tomorrow. I don’t have anything for you.” When asked if it was lower-body the coach added “correct” and whether it had anything to do with the injury 33 suffered earlier in the year “Not that I know of. No, he had healed completely from his earlier injury.”
