This is the last Central Division game for awhile for the Jets who play within their division just twice in the first 17 games of the season (Minnesota Wild two days ago and Hawks tonight). The Hawks are winless in their first two games of the season.
AM Skate Notes:
The Jets cancelled morning skate. There will be a media availability at 3:30 pm so any lineup news will come out at that time. For now the lineup is simply based on last game versus Minnesota.
Updated Roster:
Coach Maurice confirms that Ville Heinola comes out and Carl Dahlstrom draws in.
Jets projected lines, D pairs and goalies:
Laine-Scheifele-Wheeler
Connor-Copp-Ehlers
Bourque-Lowry-Letestu
Perreault-Roslovic-Appleton
Morrissey-Pionk
Dahlstrom-Poolman
Kulikov-Bitetto
Hellebuyck
Brossoit.
