The Jets were off on Tuesday which meant we didn’t get an update on the status of Cole Koepke who sustained a lower-body injury after blocking a shot in the game against the Islanders on Monday. He was listed as day-to-day by head coach Scott Arniel.

Skate news:

Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press is on the ground in Philly at practice and indicated that both Haydn Fleury and Cole Koepke are participating this morning.  He also indicated that both Kyle Connor and Gus Nyquist are not skating.

As per radio colour broadcaster Mitchell Clinton the lines and D pairs shake out as listed below.
