It's going to be strange to not have Connor in the lineup for the foreseeable future. His year may be effectively over even if he does come back in 8 weeks or so. Probably will be a long time after to get back the confidence in the knee, never mind the speed that his game is built on. Well, let's take a positive slant. Someone else who probably deserves to play will get his chance. We get to see Vilardi moved up to the top line again.
Barron gets his chance up in the lineup, moved from 4th to 2nd. Perfetti, Namestnikov, Barron...not a line I would have projected at any time. Seems to be missing a sniper, but should be good defensively so maybe that's a good tradeoff. And we always have the 3rd and 4th lines to provide the odd much needed goal.
Bottom line, it still looks like a pretty good lineup! Schmidt has done his time watching...will reclaim his spot from Stanley.
Hopefully Brossoit has a super-solid game like his last one.
Sharks started the season as a laughing stock but 5-3-2 in their last 10, are entering the realm of respectability, including a couple of huge comebacks in recent games.
From Illegal Curve:
Jets projected lines & D pairs:
Ehlers - Scheifele - Vilardi Perfetti - Namestnikov - Barron Niederreiter - Lowry - Appleton Iafallo - Gustafsson - Jonsson-Fjallby
Morrissey - DeMelo Dillon - Pionk Samberg - Schmidt - Stanley
Brossoit Hellebuyck
Go JETS Go!

A 9:30 start. That's going to be a late finish. It might be one of those " I'll finish it at 6 am when I'm having coffee. Regardless, Go Jets Go !

Now that the Jets have had a chance to process the loss of KC, after the understandable funk for a full period after the injury and yet still finding a way to come back and win (that was a tough gut it out win!), I think they'll come out fast and feisty. They'll all be on the "step it up train" and will be aggressive this evening. I expect that aggressiveness to result in a few more short handed scenarios, so the PK better be ready.

Yeah it's going to be a struggle to stay up for this one. Am grateful for the PVR. Last year, we would have seen the loss of Conner as a major disaster, pretty much dooming our playoff hopes . This year our depth will be tested but Vilardi has been getting better every game and ought to be able to assume a much more prominent role. With all due respect tot he Sharks, they are not the Panthers or even close. A good game for Brossoit to bolster his confidence and for the re-jigged lines to get used to each other. It will probably not be a classic but entertaining nonetheless.

Sharks have come out with a lot of energy. Might be a handful for the Jets. DeMelo didn't look too good going to the bench...looked like he might have tweaked his shoulder.
