Health Update:
Coach Maurice indicated that Adam Lowry “skated this morning, went reasonable well. We will see how he gets to it tomorrow.”. Tyler Myers was missing but it wasn’t anything related to his health as the Jets bench boss said “he had a scheduled appointment with his son today and my understanding is all is good.” Last up for the injured guys expected to return soon was Matt Hendricks and Maurice indicated “he hasn’t been able to get into the full hard practice and the grinding so today was good for him to do that. He’ll get three good days of that and we’ll see where he is at.”

Coach Maurice: Status of Adam Lowry and Tyler Myers? On today’s skate. Status of Matt Hendricks? Thoughts on Kyle Connor’s game. What has he seen from Connor Hellebuyck’s four games that has been different? Has Hellebuyck’s physical improvements led to confidence? Jets approach to this break. His read on the Central division. On Vegas winning. On Hendricks in the room. Does he want Hendricks in the lineup on Thursday? On his 600th coaching win. Being among the coaches who are in the 600+ win group.
