Goalie plan:

Paul Maurice in his media availability said he was bringing three goalies on the road. With the news on Friday that the Jets released Philippe Desrosiers from his PTO and Maurice saying Connor Hellebuyck wasn’t going to be playing this weekend which means Arvid Holm will be that third goalie option.
