ST. PAUL, Minnesota - Tuesday morning Jets head coach Paul Maurice was his secretive self about the status of Tyler Myers, saying the defenceman is a game time decision for Game 4.
Should Myers not go, Tucker Poolman could be making his Stanley Cup Playoff debut against the Minnesota Wild. Poolman skated alongside Ben Chiarot during the morning skate at Xcel Energy Center and that meant being surrounded by media following practice.
"Game-time decision," said Poolman when asked about what his role would be for Game 4. "Be ready, I guess."
Chiarot and Poolman have been paired together during the regular season and that should help the rookie calm his nerves.
"I played a good amount of games with Benny," said Poolman. "I'm sure that will be good for me."
Poolman ready should his name be called for Game 4
Defenceman played 24 games for the Jets in the regular season
