"It'll be a Jets team with a slightly different look than usual, however, as reigning Vezina Trophy winner Connor Hellebuyck is out with a knee injury. The Jets have dropped their last two games since losing Hellebuyck, but they're not a pushover team by any stretch, and the Caps will need to bring the same effort to tonight's game to pick up another win."
