Things to Watch For:

The Flyers have lost their last six games, the Jets need to stay on their toes to make sure it becomes seven.

With a very shorthanded fourth line, expect to see a lot more of the top three lines tonight.

Prediction:

3-1 Jets. Goals from Nikolaj Ehlers, Mark Scheifele and Alexander Burmistrov.
