The Jets conclude their three-game road trip with a visit to Sin City to take on the red-hot Golden Knights. Vegas has gone 9-1-0 in their last 10 games including three straight wins. While T-Mobile Arena isn’t as feared as it was last season by visiting NHL teams, the Golden Knights still have one of the best home records in the Western Conference (22-10-4).

Audio:
Coach Maurice: Laurent Brossoit in net? Any changes among the skaters? Vegas with Mark Stone. Any updates on Byfuglien/Morrissey? Mark Scheifele thought’s on the Jets effort last night. Any sense that Patrik Laine is getting frustrated without scoring? How did he like Joe Morrow’s game last night?
