1st line: looks similar to how Noel uses LAL so expect to see them against Versteeg as much as possible... if it weren't for the Jet killer I'd say watch us beat them badly
2nd line: if we weren't the Jets and they didn't have Versteeg, this is the line I'd be more scared of results-wise, I'm sure the kids can get beaten out though if they weren't semi-sheltered... expect KJW to be matched here and *hopefully* beating them
3rd line: more scoring then our third line but it isn't dangerous, and far less zone possession
4th line: typical 4th scrubs getting beat in soft minutes... results and usage looks similar to our Stapleton line last season
1st pair: Campbell hasn't scored any points on 5v5 so maybe if we can keep him from the PP we can shut him down and take advantage of their poor possession
2nd pair: I think the coach has done a lot of D shuffling because Kulakov has FAR better stats than his partner and looks like he's been carrying the weight... he's dangerous 5v5
3rd pair: meh, losing to soft minutes... not afraid

KJWh: Possession is not where I'd like it to be. These guys are being out-chanced with not too different of usage as Kane's line last season. Let's see if this stays the same as Noel seemed to use KJWh against harder comp last time at home. Jokinen is scoring slowly at 5v5 (not on PP) which is usual for him but it's a bit more of a drop than normal. This should change in time as his team's OnIceSh% is decently low. All three are in the bottom 30 for OnIceSv%, AKA they are in the top30 for having the worst goaltending/luck in the league while their are on the ice... probably why Wheeler's +/- is so ugly.
LAL: Solid secondary scoring (even with Antro having similar scoring issues/patterns as Jokinen), Ladd is the only player in the black possession/out-chancing-wise in the top6, but they are facing stiff competition for match-ups.
PB-W/S This line was taking secondary tough match-ups until Scheifele or Wellwood was placed on. Noel likes to hide these two a lot from tough minutes. It's no surprise as they are in the black as all 4 are in the Jets' top 5 forwards for possession (order: Wellwood, Burmistrov, Ponikarovsky, Ladd, Scheifele). Side note: unsure if Welly or Scheif is in so I averaged their results (which hurts the scoring due to Scheif). Not much support scoring here but the two regular members (P+B) have had the least offensive luck (OnIceSh%) on the team other than Wright (Jets' have yet to score with him on the ice), so Burmi and Poni may have a 5v5 point or two coming their way soon too (as does Antro and Jokinen).
WST: Their Corsi is a value of 3 (ie: 3 scoring chances per 60 mins) better than GST was, and although it's hard with their OZS (Slater is at 27%) their match-ups are much lighter than GST ever was, as they are being used as energy line and take Dzone starts to push up the scoring lines instead of Dzone shutdown, so I would like a bit more improvement.
Enstrom-Hainsey: Poor Enstrom... an elite #2 now being paired with a fringe-to-average #4... being the only two true top4 guys left Noel has attempted to shelter BOTH the bottom 4, which means Enstrom and Hainsey are being bent over, used and abused... and it's starting to show... put it this way, last season Enstrom was 14th in the league (irregardless of usage) for out-chancing opponents, now he's 138/232... Buff + Bogo get back soon.
Stuart-Redmond: Stuart has been Redmond's most often partner with 17 mins, and 11 mins to Hainsey when Postma was moved with Enstrom (out of his total 33 mins of 5v5 time). Redmond has been sheltered "less" overall than Postma and has been posting better results possession-wise, but his partner hasn't really been Clitsome... I think I'd be fine with Redmond on the second pair with Hainsey once Byfuglien returns and until Bogosian is back.
Clitsome-Postma: We already know the story here: both sheltered similarly, Postma = better offensively AND (semi-surprisingly) defensively. It's worth noting that if you remove all the D with only 1-2 games on their belt or with ridiculous OnIceSh% of >17% (so their team is scoring at unsustainable shooting percentage), both Enstrom and Postma are in the top 10 for 5v5 points/min.
Tips for game:
Pavelec post north of 0.9 sv% + stay out of box (due to fear of the first part) = Jets' get a point every game (so far)
Couch Coach
If I was Noel...
1) I'd maybe try spreading the match-ups a bit more. Give the PBW/S line a bit tougher stuff, they should be able to handle it
2) Postma is doing well offensively and Redmond is doing well defensively... While neither are nearly as good as Byfuglien or Bogosian in their respective areas, maybe try them in those placements, but not tilt the match-ups as much as last season (but OZS are fine to be similar).. so:
Enstrom-Postma
Hainsey-Redmond
Stuart-Clitsome
Vet on each line... spread out the match-ups but give a bit more to the first two.
