Hellebuyck will start on Tuesday vs. the Rangers.

The Jets will turn to Hellebuyck for the fifth time in the six games on Tuesday against the red-hot New York Rangers. Hellebuyck has widely been considered the Vezina-favourite throughout the season but has fallen off lately, allowing three or more goals in seven of his last 10 games (5-5-0) after allowing three or fewer in 27 consecutive contests (19-6-2). The Jets enter action as +109 road underdogs.

Vilardi (enlarged spleen) will be out indefinitely with his latest ailment.

Vilardi expected to return to the lineup shortly after battling an upper-body injury but his timeline has taken an unexpected setback after being diagnosed with an enlarged spleen that will keep him out indefinitely. Any prolonged absence for Vilardi will be a sizeable blow to the Jets' offence as the 24-year-old Vilardi has been productive lately, scoring 10 points (5G / 5A) in his last seven games.

Namestnikov (undisclosed) was a full participant in the morning skate but will be a game-time decision to play vs. Anaheim.

Namestnikov has been productive lately but is battling an undisclosed ailment, making his status uncertain for Friday's contest against the Anaheim Ducks. He has five points (1G / 4A) in his last six games.

Vladislav Namestnikov
Scheifele (illness) was a full participant in Friday's morning skate and seems likely to rejoin the Jets lineup vs. Anaheim.

Scheifele's absence was a surprise on Wednesday as he came down with an illness before puck-drop. The Jets have had several players miss time due to illness over the last few games, but Scheifele is expected to return to the lineup on Friday against the Anaheim Ducks. Scheifele has 10 points (3G / 7A) in his last nine games.

Scheifele (undisclosed) is not on the ice for warmups and is expected to miss Wednesday's game against the Predators.

Scheifele's absence is a surprise, as the team did not make any mention of a potential injury prior to warmups. The Jets have had a number players miss due to illness over the last few games, so it's possible Scheifele is the next in that unfortunate line. Rasmus Kupari is expected to take his place in the lineup on Wednesday.

Hellebuyck will start on Wednesday vs. Nashville.

On Wednesday, the Jets will turn to Hellebucyk in a divisional matchup against the Nashville Predators. Hellebuyck has allowed three or more goals in five of his last six (3-3-0) but is coming off an impressive 23-save shutout in his last outing, a 3-0 win over the Washington Capitals. The Jets enter action as -150 home favourites against a Predators club with points in their last 12 games (10-0-2).

Hellebuyck will start against the Capitals on Monday.

Hellebuyck had a forgettable performance in his last outing, allowing five goals on 37 shots (.865 SV%), but will return to the crease on Monday. The Vezina front-runner has struggled lately, allowing three or more goals in five straight games (2-3-0) while posting a subpar .890 SV%. The Jets enter action as sizeable -202 home favourites against the Washington Capitals.

Kupari is expected to be a healthy scratch on Monday vs. Washington.

Cole Perfetti will draw back into the Jets' lineup on Monday, sending Kupari to the press box as a healthy scratch. Kupari played the last two games for the Jets, averaging under 10 minutes of ice-time while tallying four hits and one shot.

Rasmus Kupari
Perfetti will rejoin the Jets' lineup on Monday vs. Washington.

Perfetti did not play in Saturday's 5-0 loss to the Vancouver Canucks but will draw back into the lineup on Monday against the Washington Capitals. Perfetti has been limited to a single point (0G / 1A) in his last 18 games. On Monday, Rasmus Kupari is expected to be the odd man out of the lineup.

Cole Perfetti
Miller is expected to make his Jets' debut on Monday vs. Washington.

The Jets acquired Colin Miller from the Devils for a 2026 fourth-round pick ahead of last week's trade deadline. Miller is an impending unrestricted free agent with a $1.85 million AAV. He has seven points (3G / 4A), 72 hits, and 31 blocks in 40 games this season.
