Miller is listed as a scratch for Friday's game in Ottawa.

Miller will be the odd-man out on Friday as the Devils opt to go back to a more traditional lineup with Brendan Smith dropping back to take Miller's place on the blue-line. Miller has zero goals and one assist across 16 games this season. Chris Tierney will draw into the lineup in his place.

Connor Hellebuyck will start Wednesday in Chicago.

Hellebuyck is among the league's hottest goaltenders since mid-November and will return to the crease on Wednesday evening. Hellebuyck has won 10 of his last 13 games (10-1-2), allowing three or fewer goals in each contest, posting a sensational .938 SV%. The American netminder has been a big reason why the Jets have catapulted into a race for the top seed in the Central Division, and he is in for a favourable matchup against the league-worst Chicago Blackhawks.

Colin Miller (personal) is expected to draw back into New Jersey's lineup Wednesday vs. Columbus.

Miller will play his first game since December 17th, when Brendan Smith drew into the lineup in favour of his. Before his absence from the lineup, Miller played 15 straight games for the Devils, tallying one point (0G / 1A), 10 blocks, and 18 hits while averaging 14:52 time-on-ice.

Hellebuyck will start Friday vs. Boston.

Hellebuyck did not play in Wednesday's 5-0 victory over the Detroit Red Wings but will return to the crease on Friday when the Jets host the Boston Bruins. Hellebuyck has been terrific lately, allowing two or fewer goals in 10 of his last 11 games (8-2-1) while posting a dazzling .939 SV%. The Jets are among the hottest teams in the league this month, losing only two of nine games in December (7-1-1), yet are slight +105 home underdogs against a Bruins team that has lost three of their last four contests (1-2-1).

Connor Hellebuyck will start Monday vs. Montreal.

Hellebuyck has been otherwordly lately, consistently putting together strong performances, and will search for his sixth straight win in his third consecutive start on Monday. After a lacklustre start to the season, Hellebuyck has unfathomably allowed two or fewer goals in 10 straight contests, posting a remarkable .943 SV%. Few goalies in the league have been as reliable as Hellebuyck over the last month, and he looks poised to continue his strong play as the Jets are sizeable -230 home favourites against a Montreal Canadiens team that has lost three of their last five (2-1-2).

Connor Hellebuyck will start Saturday vs. Colorado.

Hellebuyck draws the Jets' crease for the fourth time in five games as he looks to extend a personal four-game winning streak after a 32 save (.941 SV%) victory over Los Angeles last start. The 30-year-old workhorse netminder has been his usual solid self again this season, with his impressive 14-6-1 record, 2.42 GAA and .916 SV%. He'll host the Colorado Avalanche, who have won two straight and are fourth in the NHL in goals per game (3.59).

Kyle Connor (knee) has been placed on the Injured Reserve.

The Jets received devasting news on Tuesday as their leading goal-scorer will miss six to eight weeks with a knee injury following a collision with Ryan Strome on Sunday and has been officially placed on the Injured Reserve Wednesday. Before his injury, Connor had 28 points (17G / 11A) and 102 shots on goal in 26 games. Nikolaj Ehlers is expected to see an increase in usage during Connor's absence, including exposure to the top powerplay unit.
