Ondrej PavelecWhat he is expecting from MontrealWatched highlights from Montreal/ChicagoImportance of quick startMissed opportunities/closing out gamesKeys to being successfulHaving success against Montreal.

Chris Mason –  Transitioning to the new goalie pads.  What stands out for him about the new gear.  Using team logo on pads.  When was it conceptualized?  

Nik AntropovTalking about Montreal.  Importance of 2 points and a good start.  How he is feeling.  Comfort at home.  Doesn’t feel that back-to-back will be to Jets benefit (clearly he didn’t read the article written by IC’s Michael Remis on that topic, Jets are 4-0 when facing a team coming off a game the previous night at the MTS Centre).

Andrew LaddBeing ready to start the game.   Team accountability.  Playing with Antropov & Wellwood.  Road vs. Home play for the Jets.  Travel impact.

Aleander BurmistrovThoughts on playing on the top line.  Comfort playing with Kane and Wheeler.  Importance of increased ice time.  Did he pick spot on Ellis in the Ducks gameExpectations on the Canadiens.
