What happened: Edvinsson and Horcoff met face to face amid lineup uncertainty. Tkachuk heads back to Ottawa with a hostile reception expected.

Why it matters: Jets goaltending limbo carries standings and cap implications with a Friday marker approaching. Calm around Calgary's coaching situation steadies planning while an Ottawa home date with Tkachuk raises intensity.

What to watch: Next markers are Friday's Hellebuyck checkpoint and puck drop for Tkachuk's Ottawa return.
