Game Number Thorburn: Jets v Avalanche Sandwich

Tonight the Jets begin their four game schedule sandwich. (I assume it’s turkey because it’s so close to American Thanksgiving). Starting tonight against the Avalanche, games against the Capitals and Wild, then closing off the sandwich against the Avalanche again on Saturday. There won’t be any Ham on this sandwich however, because the Hamonic situation hasn’t led to a trade yet.

On the other hand however, the Jets are welcoming two new faces into the fold. The Jets have called up Joel Armia and Connor Hellebuyck to the roster after losing Ondrej Pavelec to the wrath of Shane Doan. Neither are expected to play in tonight’s game but both will presumably play sometime during the sandwich.
