According to coach Maurice he said that Brandon Tanev is a bit nicked up and Andrew Copp is a healthy scratch.

Player audio:

Joel Armia:  On getting back into the lineup.  On he and Matthias pushing each other.  What has the last week been like?

Shawn Matthias:  How does he feel?  Was this game the goal going into this week?  Added bonus going against a former team?

Coach audio:

Paul Maurice:  Who is coming out for Armia & Matthias?  On what he expects from Armia and Matthias coming into the lineup.  Expect a similar start from the last game?  Switching goalies, is it performance related or something else?  On how many times he’s been asked about the 2nd period problems for the Jets.
