Game 53: Jets vs Coyotes pre-game report

The Jets need to conclude their four-game road trip with at least a win in Arizona against a Coyotes team that sits 14-34-4 on the season. That puts them in last place in the central, as well as in the western conference and in fact the entire NHL. The two clubs have split the two games they’ve played so far this season.

For now the projected lineup is simply based on the last game although it sounds like there are some game-time decisions as well as the potential for Andrew Copp to return and the question as to who starts in net.

Warm-up skate:

As per Mitchell Clinton of JetsTV it will be Eric Comrie getting the start and no other changes this afternoon.

Jets projected lines & D pairs:

Stastny-Scheifele-Wheeler
Connor-Dubois-Svechnikov
Harkins-Lowry-Poganski
Vesalainen-Toninato-Brooks

Morrissey-DeMelo
Dillon-Pionk
Beaulieu-Schmidt

Comrie
Hellebuyck
