Game 40: Jets vs. Lightning pre-game report

There was some excitement from Jets players at morning skate in Tampa as Tyler Myers made an appearance on the ice in a non-contact uniform.  There was some buzz with him making the road trip with the Jets although coach Maurice in his post skate comments indicated that there is still no timeline yet on the return of the big defenceman.

Via Brian Munz of TSN 1290 Winnipeg we get the Jets projected lines, D pairs and starting goalie:

Perreault-Little-Wheeler
Ehlers-Scheifele-Laine
Matthias-Lowry-Armia
Copp-Petan-Stafford

Morrissey-Byfuglien
Enstrom-Trouba
Chiarot-Postma

Hellebuyck
Hutchinson

Pre-game audio:

Coach Maurice:  On Myers making an appearance today.  Any timeline to his return?  Good mood on the ice.  What has Shawn Matthias brought since his return?  Difference in Eastern Conference games and how Jets play against them.  On the reasons for the improvement in the power play.  On what confidence can do for a team.  On how much they’ve missed Myers.
