Game 74: Jets vs. Golden Knights pre-game report

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).

Morning Skate:

With the Jets playing last night in Anaheim no morning skate for them.  If there are any lineup changes we update accordingly.

Jets projected lineup:

Laine – Scheifele – Wheeler
Connor – Hayes – Ehlers
Tanev-Lowry-Little
Perreault-Copp-Roslovic

Morrow – Trouba
Kulikov – Myers
Chiarot – Niku

Brossoit
Hellebuyck

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?

Health Updates:

Asked about Josh Morrissey and Dustin Byfuglien the Jets bench boss indicated that “Josh will start skating next week and Dustin’s back on the ice.”

Up Next:

Puck drop is at 9:00 pm CDT.  Be sure to head over to illegalcurve.com following the game for a recap of the action which includes post-game audio from the Jets room as well as from coach Maurice.
