Note: Puck drop is at 7:00 pm CST tonight as the Jets are at home for the first time in a month to kick off a pair of games this week starting with the Panthers tonight. After the game, be sure to check us out for all the post-game reaction.
Note II: Jets announced that Dominic Toninato and assistant coach Charlie Huddy placed into NHL’s COVID-19 protocols although the team advised media after morning availability that Toninato’s test was a false positive so it could have been possible that he was still be an option tonight depending on further testing. However Sara Orlesky of TSN reported that the follow-up test came back positive and he will remain in covid protocol and not be a player tonight.
Note III: Speaking of players who won’t be available tonight or in any games for a little bit is Jets 2018 2nd rounder David Gustafsson as interim head coach Dave Lowry indicated that the young centre “is coming along but he’s not close to being a player”.
Note IV: We want you to join the conversation on the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show once the final buzzer sounds.
