No non-contact jerseys to be seen at today's #NHLJets morning skate. Colin Miller and Gustav Nyquist are each in regular jerseys, while Elias Salomonsson and Morgan Barron are absent (injured.)

While the Jets likely won’t release their lineup until just before puck drop it seems Miller and Nyquist are on track to play which is great news.
The Jets will need every point they can get in the final few games to get back into the playoffs and having veterans with big game experience like Miller and Nyquist will be a huge boost.
If both are able to play head coach Scott Arniel will have some interesting lineup decisions to make before the game begins.
As puck drop approaches, we will continue to provide updates on the Jets’ lineup for tonight’s crucial game.
