Note: Puck drop is at 8 pm CDT tonight as the Jets look to get this homestand turned around against an Oilers team they haven’t done well against (2-5-0) this season. After the game, be sure to check us out for all the post-game reaction.

Note II:  The big news from morning skate is that Nikolaj Ehlers is done for the regular season although the team is confident/hopeful that he will be back for the playoffs according to head coach Paul Maurice.

Note III:  As well be sure to join Ezzy and I for the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show once the final buzzer sounds.  You can watch it (be sure to hit that subscribe button) and participate here.

TSN: Oilers expect physical, playoff-like contest against JetsIn a probable first round matchup, the Oilers admit that they and the Jets are fairly equal, and are expecting tonight’s game to be a physical, tight playoff brand of hockey that should go down to the wire.

Sportsnet: Jets look to turn tide against Oilers but missing Ehlers creates challengeThe Jets are looking to get a win over the Oilers and avoid a fourth-straight loss, but missing one of their key contributors in Nikolaj Ehlers will make that task a little tougher.
