Following skate the Jets bench boss confirmed in his media scrum that Ondrej Pavelec will start in net once again.
Audio:
Drew Stafford: Is he playing tomorrow? What will it take for him to know he has a green light to play? Feel like there is still a chance to salvage his season in final 28?
Ondrej Pavelec: Feeling any fatigue from Dallas game? Importance of keeping out of the penalty box. The way things are going, is it making him think about the future? Does he take a pay cut playing in the NHL?
Coach Maurice: How does he get his team ready to face the Avs? Will he use Pavelec tomorrow? What will it take for Drew Stafford to get back into the lineup? Has Pavelec improved the psyche of this team? Any concern with fatigue? Anything new with Myers?
