Jets confident in their road game as series shifts to Vegas

Jets head coach Paul Maurice, whose team has won four of six games away from Bell MTS Place - including three of four from the Nashville Predators - doesn't have a complete answer to this puzzle.
"It may well be parity more than anything else," explained Maurice. "It used to be a huge match-up advantage (at home with last change). Maybe it's the (playoff) structure, and I haven't done the math of the playoff format, where you're getting pretty powerful teams lining up against each other early.
"Other than the fact that the kids that come into the game now have become used to big stages, big performances, (and) loud buildings at a younger age and it doesn't phase them," continued Maurice. "But that's the best I can come up with."
The Jets lost home ice advantage after a 3-1 loss at the hands of the Vegas Golden Knights on Monday. So they once again hope their consistent play on the road finds its way into T-Mobile Arena tomorrow night.
"I think the biggest thing for us is not to focus on things that we can't control," said Mark Scheifele when asked about the raucous Vegas crowd. "You can't control the crowd. You can't control the other team. All you can do is control what you're doing on the ice and what your team is doing. That's going to be our focus tomorrow."

Vegas tasted defeat on home ice just once so far - a double overtime loss to the San Jose Sharks in Game Two of the Second Round. But whatever the Golden Knight faithful can produce in terms of noise Wednesday night, its nothing the Jets haven't dealt with already in some good hockey towns through the first two rounds.
"It was a great crowd when we were here (in November)," said Andrew Copp. "I think we've kind of been used to great atmospheres the last couple series. (It) shouldn't be anything were not used too at this point, but we know they're going to be loud and they'll be cheering for their team for sure."
