Status report
Neither team held a morning skate. … Perfetti, a forward, left the Jets' 3-2 loss to the Boston Bruins on Thursday late in the third period. He will be evaluated when the Jets return home, per associate coach Scott Arniel. Eyssimont, originally scratched, will play, though it's unclear where. ... Oshie, a forward who left a 5-2 win against the Maple Leafs in the second period on Saturday, is expected to be out for second game and is day to day.
