Matchup Intel

The Jets have dropped 11 of the last 13 to Vegas, and that history walks in with them. But Shea Theodore is still looking for his first goal on Stuart Skinner after 25 shots.

The Jets can't afford penalties against a power play that ranks 7th, not with a kill that sits 27th. The man to watch is Mark Scheifele: 6 points in his last 4 against Vegas.
