Excellent news. He'll be needed with Morrissey out for tomorrow.
They will have to switch some guys around because Morrissey is a LHD and Myers is a RHD.  Pretty sure Morrow and Poolman can play either side, if needed.  Trouba can as well, but as we know, he doesn't like playing his off side  ;)

Fully expect to see Niku starting with the Jets next season.

I meant the blue line depth in general. But you're right, Maurice will probably have to mix it up for tomorrow.

They do a good job of explaining the logic behind their decision.

Agreed. It's nice to see the DOPS actually go through what happened and why the decision was made.

That was a direct cross check to the head, to a player who wasn?t engaged in any form of battle, he?s lucky it?s only 1 game

It was the neck, actually. But at least you pay attention.

What saved him was lack of intent. He meant to cross check him (generally allowed in the playoffs), but not in the neck. I don't believe Morrissey is stupid enough to nail Staal above the shoulders right in front of the ref. That also doesn't negate the fact that he made a bad mistake, therefore 1 game is fair.

Mason goes to the locker room after suffering an injury at #NHLJets gameday skate

Tyler Myers is out on the ice for #NHLJets morning skate.

So, if Myers is in, do you sit Poolman and leave Niku in for Morrissey?  Or play Poolman on the wrong side?

Poolman and Morrow can both play either side.  I doubt we see Niku tonight.

Looks like Niku isn't in, he stayed out for extra practice... so Myers in, and Poolman stays in the lineup...
