The Winnipeg Jets and New York Islanders are playing tonight in an afternoon matinee in Winnipeg. The Islanders beat the Jets to the tune of a 2-1 score just a few days ago and it is time for the Jets to exact their revenge. While the Jets did make a trade, it is unlikely they will see Nino Niederreitter play today (yes I am just practicing spelling his last name folks) as the trade happened later yesterday, there is immigration to deal with, and the he will not have even skated with the team. The Islanders appear to have the same lineup as they did when the Jets played them last down to Matt Martin on the first line which is mind boggling to me, but alas the NHL.

*Note, we could see Nino Niederreitter in the lineup, but with no morning skate it is hard to know (and seems unlikely)
