A critical game 3 between the Jets and Golden Knights to see which squad can take the series lead.  Before that happens they will have morning skate at T Mobile Arena in Vegas.

Morning skate notes:

Coach Maurice:  On making adjustments, will Vegas try to beat them the same way Nashville tried to beat them?  Why has the team been so good at adjusting so they haven’t lost two games in a row?  On the Winnipeggers coming to Vegas.  A small market having success in the NHL.  On the evolution of his relationship with Jets GM Kevin Cheveldayoff.  On the type of player the Jets have in Josh Morrissey.
