The Jets have played two games of this seven game homestand which started off with a big win over the Senators but includes last night’s heartbreaking last second regulation loss to the Oilers. The team had played five games in seven days and tomorrow makes six in nine so I thought they might choose to skip practice today. Instead they will have a player availability followed by an optional skate.
