Player audio:

Jacob Trouba:  What’s a day like today like?  On the Jets play before the break.  On the last win in Chicago.  What did the Jets do better on the PK of late?  Is he paying attention to the World Juniors?  Any chatter among the Jets?

Blake Wheeler:  What’s a day like today like?  What has the team done well against Chicago this season?  What are the keys to a good start?  How do they build on their success the past few games?  Expectations on the remainder of the season.

Coach audio:

Paul Maurice:  What are the keys today?  On the roster freeze and getting to 23.  Same lineup as Vancouver?  On choosing Hellebuyck to face the Hawks.  What have they done well in front of Hellebuyck against the Hawks.  Status of Tanev.  Any update on Myers?
