Game 41: Jets vs. Panthers pre-game report

The Jets didn’t skate today following a 6-4 win over the Lightning last night.  Here are the lines and D pairs from yesterday’s game.  Coach Maurice spoke at 3:30 pm CT and we learned that Connor Hellebuyck will make back to back starts tonight in Florida and his third straight overall for the Jets:

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:  Looking back at last night’s win.  Who will play goal tonight?  Importance of Hellebuyck building on yesterday’s effort.  Any personnel changes in the lineup?  Humidity.  On the previous game against the Panthers in Winnipeg.  Special teams talk.  Pre-scout preparation for the Panthers.  On Laine hitting 20 goals.
