As we make our way towards the NHL Playoffs, the schedule offers 29 remaining games, and the NHL trade deadline on February 29th. Only 8 games are left prior to the deadline, and as it stands now, the team is 7 points out of a wildcard spot, after dispatching both the Colorado Avalanche and the St. Louis Blues in their own buildings. Are the Jets going to make a run at the post season, or will they be sellers at the trade deadline? Time will tell. Tonight’s opponents are the Boston Bruins, who took a 9-2 shellacking at home at the hands of the Los Angeles Kings on Tuesday night.
