Here are the players for the fifth game of the pre-season confirmed with the release of the roster by the Jets:
Forwards (12): Alex Iafallo, Vlad Namestnikov, Gabriel Vilardi, Cole Perfetti, Jonathan Toews, Nino Niederreiter, Cole Koepke, David Gustafsson, Brad Lambert, Parker Ford, Nikita Chibrikov and Jaret Anderson-Dolan.
Defence (8): Dylan DeMelo, Neal Pionk, Colin Miller, Haydn Fleury, Ville Heinola, Kale Clague, Logan Stanley and Tyrel Bauer.
Goalies (3): Connor Hellebuyck, Eric Comrie and Domenic DiVincentiis.
The big question mark is the healthy/availability of Jets goalie Connor Hellebuyck who left skate early on Monday. The good news is he’s listed on the game group roster but clearly there is uncertainty as they also listed prospect Domenic DiVincentiis.
Update:
Connor Hellebuyck skating and no Domenic DiVincentiis.
