Roslovic went back to the Moose during the Jets bye week but is set to continue his NHL career this weekend. The 2015 first-round pick (No.25 overall) has yet to record an NHL point, but he has registered 15 goals and 20 assists (35 points) in 32 game with Manitoba.
Hutchinson was called up just before the Jets’ bye week to backup Connor Hellebuyck because Steve Mason was sick, so this indicates that something is still amiss with Mason.

Reimer allowed three goals on 28 shots in the Panthers loss to the Flames last Friday. After a long bye week, Reimer will get back between the pipes tonight vs. the Golden Knights. Reimer has lost four of his last five starts (1-3-1) while allowing a combined 16 goals on 151 shots (.894 SV%). Vegas sits at an impressive 30-11-3 but the Panthers catch a break as they come in on a back-to-back.
Quick allowed three goals on 21 shots in the Kings loss to the Ducks last Saturday. Quick has lost three in a row while posting a 3.75 GAA and .866 SV%.
