Jets audio:

Illegal Curve:  Coach Maurice pre-game scrum.   Sticking with same squad.  Lack of quickness just a by-product of the back to backs?  Does he have to be more aware of the Preds defence considering Josi and Weber lead Nashville with points?  Are dump ins/forecheck become more important when facing this defence?  Tempted to run with Hellebuyck? Pavelec’s status?  Does he any expect any carry over from the last game in Nashville?
