David Gustafsson (concussion protocol) will exit the Jets' lineup on Thursday, allowing Kupari to draw back in. The 24-year-old Kupari has been a lineup regular for the Jets this season, averaging 9:40 time-on-ice and scoring three points (2G / 1A) in 28 contests.
The Jets are coming off a landslide 8-1 victory over the Boston Bruins on Tuesday and will try to roll off that momentum after losing five of their previous seven. Hellebuyck saved 23 of 24 shots (.958 SV%) in the win over the Bruins and has been stellar all season, posting a terrific 2.09 GAA and .927 SV% in 23 games (18-5-0). The Jets enter Thursday's contest as -117 home favorites against a Vegas Golden Knights club outscoring their opposition 8-3 during a three-game winning streak.
Duehr is an undrafted 27-year-old winger with 19 points (9G / 10A) in 72 career NHL games. He will return to the Calgary Wranglers (AHL), where he has 19 points (11G / 8A) in 20 games this season.
The Oilers will turn to Skinner between the pipes on Tuesday when they host the Tampa Bay Lightning. The 26-year-old Skinner has had an up-and-down 2024-25 campaign, posting a 2.92 GAA and .892 SV% in 18 games (9-7-2), but has been solid lately, allowing two or fewer goals in four straight (3-1-0) and posting a stellar .945 SV%. The Oilers enter Tuesday's contest as -154 home favorites against a Lightning club outscoring their opposition 12-3 over their last two games (2-0-0).
Nyquist was a late scratch on Tuesday, with his absence not being announced prior to warmups. The Predators added that Nyquist is considered day-to-day as he battles the illness.
After setting an NHL record by winning 15 of their first 16 games to start the season, the Jets have fallen off significantly, winning only five of their next 13. That said, Hellebuyck has remained brilliant between the pipes and is a leading candidate to repeat as the Vezina trophy winner. He has a sublime 2.14 GAA and .925 SV% in 22 games (17-5-0). The Jets enter Tuesday's contest against -134 home favorites against a Boston Bruins club riding a season-best four-game winning streak.

Lambert played four games for the Jets but did not hit the scoresheet and will return to the AHL, where he has 11 points (3G / 8A) in 16 games. In a corresponding move, the Jets have recalled Nikita Chibrikov from Manitoba (AHL).
Chibrikov was the 50th overall pick of the Jets in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft. The 21-year-old winger made his NHL debut last season, scoring one goal in one game, but has almost exclusively been an AHL player. He has 13 points (5G / 8A) in 19 games with the Manitoba Moose (AHL).

The Oilers will roll with Skinner between the pipes on Tuesday against the Vegas Golden Knights. The 26-year-old Skinner has been inconsistent this season, posting a 3.09 GAA and .887 SV% in 16 games (8-6-2), but he has been stronger lately, allowing two or fewer goals in three of his last four (3-1-0) and posting a solid .915 SV%. The Oilers enter the action on Tuesday as -128 road favorites against a Golden Knights club coming off a disappointing 6-0 loss to the Utah Hockey Club.
St. Ivany started the season as a regular for the Penguins but has been in and out of the lineup lately. The 25-year-old defenseman is averaging 16:22 time-on-ice, recording one point (0G / 1A), 25 blocks, and 38 hits in 19 games.
Hellebuyck was solid in his last outing, saving 28 of 30 shots (.933 SV%), but was on the wrong end of a 3-1 loss to the Dallas Stars. The 31-year-old Hellebuyck is a quarter-season favorite for the Vezina Trophy, posting an immaculate 2.11 GAA and .928 SV% in 19 games (15-4-0). The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as sizeable -200 home favorites against a St. Louis Blues club they defeated 3-2 on October 22nd.
