Kulikov and Joe Morrow continue to shuffle in and out of the Jets lineup and Friday will be Morrow’s turn to play. Kulikov has registered just one assist in 11:57 TOI/GM in his first five games of 2018-19.

Bobrovsky stopped 23 of 24 shots after replacing Joonas Korpisalo in the Blue Jackets 5-3 loss to the Red Wings on Tuesday.

Greer has registered two goals and six assists (eight points) in eight AHL games this season. The 21-year-old, former second-round pick (No.39 overall in 2015) has just four assists in 22 career NHL games and will likely make his season debut on Thursday.

Nosek was a healthy scratch for the last two games, but will replace Oscar Lindberg in the lineup on Tuesday. Nosek will skate on the third line and re-enters the lineup with one goal in nine games this season.



Domingue allowed three goals on 36 shots in the Lightning’s win in Chicago last Sunday. Domingue won’t get a ton of playing time, but he has played very well in his first two starts of the season. So far, he is 2-0-0 with a 2.50 GAA and .934 SV% and has a nice matchup tonight vs. his former squad.

Jones has missed the first seven games of the season with a sprained MCL that he suffered on September 25th. Jones was expected to miss 4-6 weeks, so he's returning a couple days earlier than originally expected. Jones will be reunited on the top pair with Zach Werenski, forming one of the best defensive pairings in the league. He will also play on the second power-play unit and should be a double-digit goal-scorer with 50-point upside.

Domingue stopped 38 of 40 shots in the Lightning’s win over the Hurricanes on Tuesday. Domingue was great in his season debut and is now 8-3-1 with a 2.81 GAA and .917 SV% in 13 career appearances in a Lightning uniform. Tonight he faces a Blackhawks squad that has scored 27 goals in seven games (3.86 GF/PG).

Bobrovsky allowed three goals on 35 shots in the Blue Jackets win over the Flyers on Thursday. It was Bobrovsky’s best start of the young season and earned him another start tonight vs. Chicago.
