Note II:  The Jets faced the Islanders last night and lost in heartbreaking fashion giving up two goals in 33 seconds to lose with 1:13 left in the 3rd period.  They will have to regroup as they will face a desperate Habs team here tomorrow night who are fighting for their playoff lives.  Today the Jets have a practice scheduled for 12 noon at Bell MTS Place so be sure to check back for the Practice Report.

Note III:  The Moose didn’t have any time to lick their wounds following a tough 3-2 loss to Texas on Wednesday night as they will complete this five-game road trip in Texas with a pair of games against the Rampage starting tonight in San Antonio.  The Rampage are sitting last in the Central but despite being 4-2 against them this season both Moose losses came in Texas.  They cannot afford any letdown tonight with points critical.

New York Post: Islanders score two goals in final minutes to storm past Jets.  Another recap of the contest from someone  who covers the Islanders.

NBC Sports:  Healthier defense would make Byfuglien-sized difference for Jets.  No doubt that it will make a world of difference getting 33 as well as 44 back in the lineup.

TSN: Button on Jets: ‘Unbelievable how they just capsized’ against Isles. The Jets blew a pair of two-goal leads in their loss to the Islanders, opening the door for the Predators to still take first place in the Central.
