There was a concerning scene at Jets practice today, as Kyle Connor and Gustav Nyquist were both absent, and the Jets revealed new forward lines.
Ken Wiebe of the Winnipeg Free Press is in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, at the Jets team practice and indicated that both Haydn Fleury and Cole Koepke are participating this morning.
"Haydn Fleury is back on the ice today after blocking a shot off the kneecap in Saturday's game against the LAKings."

"Cole Koepke is also on the ice this morning after blocking a shot in the first period of Monday's matinee with the Isles."

The news was not so good in terms of Kyle Connor and Gustav Nyquist, as Wiebe indicated that neither is skating.
The Lines Look Significantly Different Due to the Absence of These 2 Players
Head coach Scott Arniel rolled out new lines at practice in their absence, so it remains to be seen if both players will miss the game vs. the Flyers or not.

Iafallo-Toews-Chibrikov
Niederreiter-Namestnikov-Ford

Kale Clague appears to be slotting in to the team's fourth line as the Jets are missing several bodies, but whether he gets into any game action remains to be seen.
The Jets will be back on the ice Thursday as they look to keep their winning ways rolling against the Flyers. As mentioned, this game will be taking place in Philly.
