Status report
Jets coach Scott Arniel did not reveal his starting goalie but confirmed it wouldn’t be Daws, who was in the customary starter’s net at an optional morning skate. … Skinner, who could start but did not go on the ice, has been pulled in each of his past two starts, including a 7-0 loss at the Carolina Hurricanes on Sunday. … Mercer took part in the morning skate and will play after he missed practice Monday. … Morrissey, a defenseman, wore a noncontact jersey and will not play. … Suzuki and Dach will not play; the two forwards remained on the ice for extra work at the end of an optional morning skate.
