The Jets got an off day on Sunday following their third straight victory on Saturday night when they defeated the Canucks in overtime. It was the sixth game in their last eight contests that have required extra time. They wake up this morning still five points back of the Kraken for the final wild card spot (which was the same as they were on Sunday morning) as Seattle didn’t play on Sunday and none of the other teams between them (Kings, Preds & Sharks) played either.
About the only bit of news we are awaiting is a potential health update on Neal Pionk (last update on February 24th) who remains on IR as well as Vlad Namestnikov who was never placed on injured reserve but was declared week-to-week back on February 28th. Nino Niederreiter is also still on IR after having surgery but we aren’t expecting any updates on him for awhile and we learned last Thursday that Colin Miller had suffered a setback and was back to week-to-week status.
