The Jets are looking for both redemption and revenge after Tuesday’s overtime loss to Detroit and the 5-2 loss to the Rangers last month. Questionable coaching choices aside, the Jets blew a 3-1 lead and lost 4-3. Even Patrik Laine said this in his postgame interview: "We just have to learn from those mistakes that we made yesterday, and if we're leading 3-1, we have to be smart and not give up any easy goals, we can learn from yesterday's game, and be better at the next one."
The Rangers are beat up and coming off a loss to their cross-town rivals in Brooklyn. Two beat up lineups are searching for redemption tonight and it should be a good matchup to watch.
Lineups:
New York Rangers:
Chris Kreider – Derek Stepan – Mats Zuccarello
Jimmy Vesey – Kevin Hayes – Rick Nash
Matt Puempel – Brandon Pirri – Marek Hrivik
JT Miller – Oscar Lindberg – Jesper Fast
Ryan McDonagh – Dan Girardi
Marc Staal – Nick Holden
Brady Skjei – Kevin Klein
Henrik Lundqvist
Antti Raanta
Winnipeg Jets:
Drew Stafford – Mark Scheifele – Blake Wheeler
Nikolaj Ehlers – Bryan Little – Patrik Laine
Mathieu Perreault – Adam Lowry – Marko Dano
Brandon Tanev – Andrew Copp – Chris Thorburn
Josh Morrissey – Dustin Byfuglien
Tobias Enstrom – Jacob Trouba
Ben Chiarot – Paul Postma
Connor Hellebuyck
Michael Hutchinson
Where to Watch:
7:00 PM on TSN3 and to listen, TSN 1290
Who Do We Hate?:
Jimmy Vesey. Simply out of jealousy because his season is what I expected out of Kyle Connor so far. Not fair.
Predictions:
Jets Win in OT 2-1
Goals by: Marko Dano and Nikolaj Ehlers (GWG)
Red Wings Goal by: JT Miller
