Status Report
The Jets are likely to field the same 18 skaters they utilized in their recent 6-2 defeat against the Vegas Golden Knights. In contrast, the Mammoth’s coach, Andre Tourigny, indicated potential game-time decisions regarding their lineup.
Defenseman John Marino participated in a full-contact morning skate but has missed the last two games. Barrett Hayton is expected to miss his ninth consecutive game while skating in a no-contact jersey. Forward Jack McBain is also week to week regarding his recovery.
In a move to bolster their roster, the Mammoth assigned goalie Matt Villalta to the Tucson team in the American Hockey League.
This game promises to be a key moment for both teams as they vie for important points in the standings.
