The Jets have gone eight straight games scoring three goals or less and have been shut out twice over that stretch. In an effort to try and get some more offence, Rick Bowness has flipped a couple of his wingers. Nikolaj Ehlers will skate beside Adam Lowry and Mason Appleton and Vladislav Namestnikov joins Mark Scheifele and Blake Wheeler. Namestnikov who has played with Wheeler before said he felt the trio were moving the puck well in practice Monday afternoon in Los Angeles and hoped it would translate to the game. As for Ehlers, he knows what to expect from Lowry and Appleton.
"They don't have off nights. They play the same way every single game and they're fun to play with," said Ehlers following the optional skate this morning in San Jose.
"Lows both ways is really good and Appy's got a lot of speed."
