Game 46: Jets vs. Predators projected lines

The Jets hit the ice for practice on Saturday to practice ahead of today’s afternoon contest against the Predators. Plenty of focus on this game against their division rival.

For now the lineup is simply based on yesterday’s practice. Coach Maurice didn’t indicate who would start but seems reasonable that it will be Connor Hellebuyck.

AM Skate:
