Nikolaj Ehlers was on the ice this morning wearing the non-contact jersey. Status for game one is TBD
Of course there will likely be some tweaks between the taxi squad and the Black Aces before the playoffs begin.
Current Taxi Squad: Vesalainen, Luoto, Dano & Comrie.
He also indicated that they'd take four goalies on the road with them.
#NHLJets, asked by @SportsnetSpec what might be more dangerous in terms of trying to shut down - McDavid and Draisaitl on same line, or on separate lines?
Says together or apart, their numbers will be "grotesquely high either way."

"Uncle."
"It hasn't been two weeks, man. It was March 11 of last year. So, uncle"

Nikolaj Ehlers skated this morning, a positive Maurice says in his effort to be ready for Game 1. That is still up in the air at the moment. #NHLJets

Kudos to @KMooreCJOB for reminding me of the great Ed Whalen of Stampede Wrestling fame just now when asked Neal Pionk about "ranglin' and danglin' with the Pionkian piourette" the other night.
As questions go, that's a ring-a-ding-dong dandy!
Neal Pionk said he didn't want to miss games but said it was best to be fully ready for playoffs.
Says he felt refreshed after having a few games off. Said watching the game from "up top" was enlightening as it allowed him to see a few things.

#NHLJets Nate Thompson getting emotional as he speaks about not being able to see his 6-year-old son, Teague, since before the season began.
The boy lives in Minnesota with his mother, and border closure plus NHL protocols has made it impossible.
Getting set for tonight's final regular season game! #GoJetsGo

Nate Thompson says he hasn't seen his son since before the season started due to federal border issues.
"It's hard," he says. holding back tears.
Not yet. Hershey still has two games left.
We'll see after that, i guess.
