The Edmonton Oilers opened their preseason schedule against the Winnipeg Jets. Here are 3 players that stood out during the game.

The Oilers begin their pre-season with a home tune-up against the Jets on Sunday needing to dress eight veteran players—a count that can include first-round picks like Sam O'Reilly and Matt Savoie as well.

The Oilers take on the Winnipeg Jets tonight in the first of eight preseason games, as prospects and depth players on both teams try to make their case for a spot on the opening night roster. These two teams will open the regular season against each other in Edmonton on October 9th.

The Winnipeg Jets dropped their second game in as many nights on Sunday evening in Edmonton. Facing off against the Oilers in a Sunday evening showdown for the second game in less than 24 hours, the Jets actually came out firing early, but ultimately couldn't handle Edmonton's late-game fire power.

The Edmonton Oilers have unveiled their lineup for their first game of the National Hockey League’s preseason and it is very much a preseason lineup. Many of the Oilers top stars including the likes of Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl will not be in action this evening when the team takes on the Winnipeg Jets.

While there were strong performances from Matt Savoie, Raphael Lavoie, and Cam Dineen, it was Noah Philp made a strong and surprising impression in the Edmonton Oilers’ first preseason game, a 3-2 OT win over the Winnipeg Jets.

Pre-season is officially here. The Edmonton Oilers will play the Winnipeg Jets for their first pre-season game tonight. The last time the Oilers played hockey was when they lost Game seven of the Stanley Cup Final by a 2-1 score on June 24th.
