Coach Maurice: Is Nick Shore in tomorrow? Status of Appleton and Bourque. Chemistry of the 4th line. What has Tucker Poolman done well this season? How has Morrissey helped with Poolman’s development? Reflecting on Neal Pionk after 29 games. Does he keep tabs on former Jets? Who will start tomorrow? Decision on David Gustafsson?

Jets Debut:
Based on the line rushes it looked like a given that Nick Shore would make his NHL debut tomorrow and coach Maurice confirmed it during his media availability.
Health News:
Coach Maurice was asked about the health of Mason Appleton and Gabriel Bourque who practiced in regular uniforms today. “Mason’s cleared to play. Gabriel is cleared for contact and full conditioning. That’s a six week injury for Mason. I gotta get him in to some practices before I consider him and then I’ve gotta have a hole created for him. So some competition now.”
Starting Goalie:
Connor Hellebuyck gets the start in net tomorrow.
