Rebuild Rules: Getting out of the ROG for a couple games of road losses can be a good distraction.

CANUCKS (3-13-1) at JETS (5-8-3)

7 p.m. ET; SNE, TSN3

We're in a different time now. Or time zone.

The Jets just broke a 9 game losing streak coming back 4-0 to the Habs in the 3rd, winning 5-4 in OT. Copycats. We just broke a 10 game L-streak. And have followed it up with 3 game slide. You're all caught up.

Despite the concerns about their season, Winni isn't a threat to Nucking basement sovereignty. They already have double digits in points. Imagine!
