Bowness Faces Paul Maurice as Jets Take On Panthers

Jets are looking to extend winning streak to five, have won seven of last eight and Rick Bowness will return to the Jets bench.

Another win for the Jets against the Tampa Bay Lightning has them still holding on to third place in the Central division, tied with the second-place Colorado Avalanche. They are widening the gap between them and the rest of the division below them as St. Louis is trailing by three.

The Florida Panthers will be a very tough opponent as they are winners in seven of their last nine games.

In the teams’ first meeting of the year, the Jets came out on top by a score of 6-4. Since then, the Panthers have become a more stable team and have seen Brandon Montour return to the lineup.
