Sounds like Mason gets the start 

I figured he'd start in Philly.  But they probably want to follow up his Moose game rather quickly and get him back at full speed.  Helle's quest for the new Franchise Wins record will have to wait one more game...

I think they need to give Helle some rest and dont kill him b4 the playoffs start so im more than ok with Mason starting. 

It's pretty obvious Jets have zero confidence in Hutch... So im glad Mason is back since it likely means more games off for Helle. 

Hutch has done a little better this year but I don't see him sticking around either

Mason's starting

Coming from a non-goalie expert that I am,  does his recent play with us (albeit a small sample) and his play in the AHL this year, warrant that?

Glad you're back too.

I'd assume they would play Mason since he will be with the team next season and he is making million more per year then Hutch....

I think it's more about having Mason healthy and getting him in some games sooner than later. Hutchinson played well in his two games with the Jets but the writing was on the wall once Mason was activated from the IR.

Not sure about anyone else, but I was secretly hoping Mason (and his large contract)  got traded to Philly when they were desperate for a goalie, and we kept Hutch as the back-up. Will need that money for Laine, Morrissey and Trouba.

Hendricks and McLeod duke it out

SING IT WITH ME EVERYONE!

 

Don't c fights like that anymore.

 Good 10 second warmup :D

Man, what a BRUTAL shift.

What an ugly sequence... Laine blows a tire and takes a stick to the ribs, and then Wheeler and Scheifele collide.

Blegh.

if Pav was starting in net for the rangers it would be 1-0 already for us

 

Laine opens scoring

Laine with a ripper to open the scoring late in the opening frame!

He has tied his goal total from last season. And has 16 games and two periods more to add to it. 

and now many goals has Matthews scored this season?

28  in 53 which is pretty good considering he was injured for 10.

for the umpteenth straight game, Laine scores his second. 2-0 Jets
