Al Montoya in goal vs. Jets, some line-shuffling among forwards
Nino Niederreiter will start tonight's game on the right side with David Ullstrom and Josh Bailey, while Tim Wallace moves to the right wing with Matt Martin and Marty Reasoner.
Montoya gets his 10th start in the last 12 games, hoping to build off a solid outing in Minnesota on Saturday. Evgeni Nabokov will back up and is likely to start in Madison Square Garden on Thursday night against the Rangers.
Mark Eaton will be the healthy scratch.
The Jets are in the midst of a stretch where they play 13 of 15 at home in the cozy MTS Centre, where they are 11-5-0 so far this season.
