Both clubs had played 11 games in ESPN’s October 26 standings. The Canadiens were fifth in the Atlantic Division at 6-3-2, with 14 points, 36 goals scored and 36 allowed.

Who is available for Jets vs Canadiens?

The Hellebuyck trade changed the Jets’ options in goal, while Suzuki’s injury could affect the Canadiens’ attack.

Who could start in goal for the Jets?

The Jets traded Connor Hellebuyck to the Devils on October 23 in a deal that brought in Nico Daws, Dawson Mercer and Nick Bjugstad, among other players and draft picks. Mercer made his Jets debut on October 25, when Stuart Skinner started in goal. That start did not establish the November 3 selection.

Skinner entered the Heritage Classic at 3-1-3 with a .912 save percentage in seven starts. Clay Stevenson was 1-2-0 with a .893 save percentage; Daws had gone 2-2-0 with a .874 save percentage in four games for the Devils. None had been confirmed as the November 3 starter in reports through October 26.

The Jets called defenseman Josh Morrissey week-to-week with an upper-body injury on October 15. Brown, Vladislav Namestnikov and Bjugstad were listed as injured for October 25. Their November 3 availability and the Jets’ full skater lineup remained unsettled in reports through October 26.

Which Canadiens are available?

Fowler was 5-1-0 through October 25, with a 1.79 goals-against average and .924 save percentage. He started the Heritage Classic ahead of Jakub Dobes while Samuel Montembeault was injured, but had not been confirmed as the November 3 starter in reports through October 26.

NHL reporting on October 26 put Nick Suzuki out for two to four weeks with an upper-body injury, pointing toward another absence on November 3. Montembeault and Ivan Demidov were listed as injured for October 25; their rematch availability and the Canadiens’ full lineup remained unconfirmed in those reports.

Can the Canadiens score without Suzuki?

The Canadiens were 2-0 without Suzuki through October 25. Defensemen Lane Hutson and Kaiden Guhle scored both Canadiens goals in the Heritage Classic, with Cole Caufield assisting on each. If Suzuki remains out and the Jets finish more of their chances, another contribution from the defense could keep the Canadiens from relying solely on their goalie.
