Miller is expected to make his Jets' debut on Monday vs. Washington.

The Jets acquired Colin Miller from the Devils for a 2026 fourth-round pick ahead of last week's trade deadline. Miller is an impending unrestricted free agent with a $1.85 million AAV. He has seven points (3G / 4A), 72 hits, and 31 blocks in 40 games this season.

Hellebuyck is in the starter's crease at Monday's morning skate.

Hellebuyck had a forgettable performance in his last outing, allowing five goals on 37 shots (.865 SV%), but will likely return to the crease on Monday. The Vezina front-runner has struggled lately, allowing three or more goals in five straight games (2-3-0) while posting a subpar .890 SV%. The Jets enter action as sizeable -202 home favourites against the Washington Capitals.

Vilardi exited last Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Dallas Stars in the second period with an upper-body injury and will return to practice on Monday. The 24-year-old Vilardi had been productive lately, scoring 10 points (5G / 5A) in his last seven games before his injury.

Comrie will start Thursday's game in Nashville.

Comrie will start the tail-end of Buffalo's back-to-back on Thursday after starter Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen got the start in Toronto on Wednesday. Comrie was saddled with the loss his last time out, allowing three goals on 29 shots in a 4-0 defeat at the hands of the Panthers on February 15th. He owns a 1-6-0 record on the year and has not won a game since his first start of the season, way back on October 21st. He will have a hard time getting back into the win column on Thursday as the Sabres find themselves as +135 underdogs in Nashville
