With both teams losing their second game the Bruins and Jets meet up to see who gets to be above .500. After a dismal offensive performance in Saturday's game, the Jets look to rebound tonight by scrambling with the lines. The Thorburn over Armia experiment appears to be over, at least with his performance in the last game.
With only 17 shots on goal last game, it's clear that the Jets need to step up their game if they want to win this year. Two other key problems going forward are the extensive use of Dustin Byfuglien, and the conundrum with Drew Stafford and where he fits in the line up. Stafford is a square peg and there's no good fit for him anywhere right now.
The Jets' best chance to pull out a win besides upping their shots, is to take advantage of the Bruins' early game weakness. The Bruins started down 2-0 and 3-1 against Columbus and Toronto respectively. The window for the Jets to take advantage is definitely open. Look for them to come out fast and hard tonight.
