Game 77: Jets vs. Devils pre-game report

This game was originally listed as #71 on the Jets calendar but due to weather two weeks ago in New Jersey it was rescheduled to today.

Via Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Sun here are the projected lines based on morning skate and updated D pairs based on coach Maurice’s comments:

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

Morrissey-Trouba
Melchiori-Byfuglien
Stuart-Nogier

Hellebuyck
Hutchinson

Audio:

Patrik Laine:  What is the biggest thing he will take out of this season?  Feeling 100% again?

Nikolaj Ehlers:  Looking forward to finally playing this game against the Devils?  What does he expect from New Jersey?

Coach Maurice:  Update on Byfuglien?  Who will come out?  Status of the forward group?  What can Marko Dano do to get back into the lineup?  On the reality that the Jets have officially been eliminated?  On the difficulties traveling across country for this one game.  Is there anyone they have to shut down for the year?  Update on Myers?  Expecting any call ups?
