The Jets are coming off a disappointing 3-1 loss to the Blue Jackets on Thursday which saw them control play (especially in the 1st and 3rd periods) but didn’t get the payoff. They were off on Friday and they hit the ice today for a practice in New Jersey ahead of a back-to-back set against the Devils (Sunday) and Rangers (Monday).
