Winnipeg Jets injuries
Jaret Anderson-Dolan, Ville Heinola, Logan Stanley & David Gustafsson are all currently injured for the Jets, with Gustafsson being the closest to a return according to reports.
Edmonton Oilers game preview
The Oilers had a difficult start to their preseason as they lost five of their eight fixtures. The disappointing end to last season saw them make a remarkable comeback after being three nil down in the Stanley Cup to get the game to game seven.
The Oilers will hope to overcome the game seven defeat hangover at the earliest to start the season on the front foot and get some points on board.
Edmonton Oilers injuries
Evander Kane, Roby Jarventie & Derek Ryan are all sidelined for the Oilers, with Kane and Jarventie being out for long-term durations.
Jets and Oilers key players
Colin Miller and Neal Pionk were vital figures for the Jets in the preseason as both players got five points each in the six preseason fixtures for the side.
Connor McDavid and Viktor Arvidsson played a crucial role for the Oilers so far as the newcomer Arvidsson has found his footing nice and early for the Oilers as the winger joined the franchise only a few months ago on a two-year, $8 Million contract.
