After last night's disappointing display against the Washington Capitals, the Jets look to redeem themselves in Detroit against the Red Wings. The injury bug has taken an atrocious toll on the Jets so far with Bryan Little, Shawn Matthias, Drew Stafford, and Tyler Myers all on IR, Mark Stuart day to day and Matthieu Perreault and Joel Armia leaving Thursday's game.
The one positive of this, is that the Jets are being forced into the youth movement that was desperately needed. Nic Petan was just called up to the team, but it's unknown if he draws in tonight.
Lineups:
Detroit Red Wings:
Nyquist – Nielsen – Larkin
Tatar – Zetterberg – Abdelkader
Athanasiou – Helm – Sheahan
Miller – Glendening – Ott
DeKeyser – Green
Ericsson – Marchenko
Smith – Kronwall
Mrazek
Howard
Winnipeg Jets:
(My best guess)
Connor – Scheifele – Wheeler
Laine – Lowry – Ehlers
Petan – Copp – Dano
Tanev – Burmistrov – Thorburn
Morrissey – Byfuglien
Enstrom – Postma
Melchiori – Chiarot
Hellebuyck
Hutchinson

Who Do We Hate?:
Niklas Kronwall is making his season debut tonight, so a good razzing to start his year is a good idea.
Watch out for my on site tweets during the game at @BrianFromAIH.
