Line Change
Duehr will make his Sharks' debut on Thursday vs. Nashville.
Collin Graf will be the odd-man out of the lineup on Thursday against the Nashville Predators to accommodate an open roster spot for Duehr to make his team debut. Duehr split time between the Calgary Flames and Calgary Wranglers (AHL) before being acquired by the Sharks via waivers. The 27-year-old forward has 19 points (9G / 10A) in 84 career games, all with the Flames.
Goalie Start
Hellebuyck will start in Colorado on Wednesday.
The Jets have been outscored 8-3 in their last two games (0-2-0) and will turn to Hellebuyck between the pipes when they attempt to return to the win column on Wednesday against the Colorado Avalanche. Hellebuyck struggled in his most recent outing, allowing four goals on 27 shots (.852 SV%) but remains the leading candidate for the Vezina trophy, boasting a 2.02 GAA and .927 SV% in 37 games (28-7-2). The Jets enter Wednesday's contest as +107 road underdogs against an Avalanche squad they defeated 3-0 on January 11th.
The Jets placed Lowry (upper-body) on injured reserve retroactive to January 20th.
Lowry exited Monday's 5-2 loss to the Utah Hockey Club after only 5:18 time-on-ice due to an upper-body injury. The 31-year-old Lowry is averaging 15:24 time-on-ice and was pacing to surpass his 36-point career-high from the 2022-23 season. He has 26 points (11G / 15A) in 26 games this season. The team already announced he is out week-to-week with the injury.
