Glass left Thursday's game with an upper-body injury and did not return.

Glass played just 4:47 TOI before leaving Thursday's game in the first period. He was hurt on a random play where it looked like teammate Lars Eller caught him with an elbow after a goalie stoppage. It's unclear if Glass will be available for Friday's game in Washington.

Hellebuyck will start against the Avalanche on Thursday.

The Jets will turn to Hellebuyck between the pipes for a third straight game on Thursday against division rivals, the Colorado Avalanche. After slightly faltering from his Vezina-caliber campaign, allowing four or more goals in two of three games, Hellebuyck responded with a 21-save shutout victory in his previous outing, his second this season. The 31-year-old Hellebuyck has a tremendous 2.10 GAA and .923 SV% through 10 games (9-1-0). The Jets enter the action on Thursday as -137 home favorites against an Avalanche club that will have Alexandar Georgiev in net for only the second time in the past three weeks.

Evangelista will be a healthy scratch on Wednesday in Washington.

Michael McCarron and Philip Tomasino will both draw back into the Predators' lineup on Wednesday against the Washington Capitals, sending Luke Evangelista and Mark Jankowski to the sidelines as healthy scratches. The 22-year-old Evangelista has five points (1G / 4A) through 12 games this season but has been held off the scoresheet in five straight.

Rittich will start in Minnesota on Tuesday.

After Darcy Kuemper shut out the Predators on Monday, the Kings will turn to Rittich in goal for the tail-end of their back-to-back on Tuesday. Rittich took a disappointing loss his last time out, allowing three goals on 20 shots in a 4-2 defeat against the Sharks on October 29th. The 32-year-old netminder owns an .870 SV% and a 3-3-0 record across six appearances this season. He will have his hands full again on Tuesday with the Kings entering action as +180 underdogs in Minnesota.

Hellebuyck will start against Utah on Tuesday.

Despite being one of the league's top netminders to start the 2024-25 season, Hellebuyck has faced some adversity lately, allowing four or more goals in two of his last three but has salvaged a 2-1-0 record. That said, those two blips have been minor in an otherwise Vezina-worthy season, as Hellebuyck boasts a stellar 2.33 GAA and .917 SV% through nine games (8-1-0). The Jets enter Tuesday's contest as -197 home favorites against the Utah Hockey Club, losers of five of their last six (1-3-2).

Chisholm is expected to be a healthy scratch on Tuesday vs. Los Angeles.

Chisholm played two straight games but will return to being a healthy scratch as Jon Merrill will draw back into Minnesota's lineup on Tuesday against the Los Angeles Kings. The 24-year-old Chisholm has one point (0G / 1A) and is averaging 14:15 time-on-ice through eight games this season.

Allen will start on Monday in Edmonton.

The Devils suffered a 3-0 loss to the Calgary Flames in their last outing and will switch from Jacob Markstrom to Jake Allen between the pipes for the first time in four games. Allen, sporting an ugly 3.25 GAA and .876 SV% in four games this season (2-1-1), has struggled in his last two contests (0-1-1), allowing 12 goals on 67 shots (.821 SV%). The Devils enter the action on Monday as -133 road favorites against an Edmonton Oilers club riding a two-game winning streak without Connor McDavid (lower-body) in their lineup.

Hellebuyck will start in Detroit on Wednesday.

After suffering their first loss of the season on Monday, 6-4 at the hands of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Jets will attempt to return to the win column on Wednesday against the Detroit Red Wings with Hellebucyk back between the pipes. Hellebuyck is coming off his worst outing of the season, allowing five goals on 35 shots (.857 SV%), his first sub- .900 SV% appearance, but is still boasting an excellent 2.14 GAA and .925 SV% through seven games this season (6-1-0). The Jets enter the action on Wednesday as -143 road favorites against a Red Wings club averaging only 2.7 goals per game.
