Status report
Hellebuyck is expected to start after Brossoit made 16 saves in a 5-2 win against the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday. ... Vilardi participated in the Jets morning skate Wednesday wearing a non-contract jersey; the center will miss his 15th straight game. ... Johansson is expected to seventh consecutive start. ... Vasilevskiy is expected to return sometime during the Lightning's upcoming three-game road trip, coach Jon Cooper said Wednesday; the goalie has not played this season after having microdiscectomy surgery for a herniated lumbar disk.
