Game 75: Jets vs. Ducks pre-game report

The Jets played last night and didn’t hold a morning skate. Coach Maurice provided an update after 6 pm. Both Jacob Trouba and Josh Morrissey will both be in the lineup for the Jets. So D pairs will be unclear until after pre-game warm up as Dustin Byfuglien remains a question mark.

Update: Jets confirmed no Byfuglien after the warm-up skate.

Here is the projected lineup:

Ehlers-Little-Laine
Perreault-Scheifele-Wheeler
Copp-Lowry-Armia
Tanev-Petan-Thorburn

Melchiori-Trouba
Strait-Morrissey
Stuart-Nogier

Hutchinson
Hellebuyck

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
