The Jets\u2019 playoff hopes took a major hit following Saturday\u2019s 7-1 blowout loss<\/a> to the Philadelphia Flyers, and it would take a miracle for things to go their way. Per MoneyPuck<\/a>, Winnipeg\u2019s odds sit at 0.5% this morning and they can be eliminated from contention tonight.\u201cWe have three games left and we have a road trip here and all we can do is try and control what we can control and that is being ready to go against Vegas,\u201d said Josh Morrissey<\/a>. \u201cThere are six possible points left. Can we get all six and see where the cards fall? That is all we can do.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are a few scenarios that could eliminate the Jets: a regulation loss to Vegas tonight, an L.A. win vs. Seattle, or one point vs. Vegas combined with one point by L.A. vs. Seattle. A lot would need to go Winnipeg\u2019s way, hence the less-than-one percent odds.<\/p>\n

Winnipeg will roll with a different look down the lineup. The team recalled forwards<\/a> Nikita Chibrikov and Brayden Yager yesterday on emergency conditions, which now makes sense as Neal Pionk, Alex Iafallo and Vladislav Namestnikov will sit tonight<\/a>. Yager will make his NHL debut, while Colin Miller comes in for Pionk on the blue line and Connor Hellebuyck makes his 10th consecutive start in net.<\/p>\n

The season series between the two clubs sits at 1-1, with tonight marking the final meeting of the season.<\/p>\n
