The Jets pummeled the AHL version of the Oilers last night rolling to a 6-1 win in Winnipeg as their veteran roster looked very connected as a group. Of course it would have been a different story if McDavid and friends had been on the ice.

Today the focus shifts to another game on the horizon as the Jets will face the Wild in St. Paul on Friday night. We shall see how things look to get an indication as to how head coach Scott Arniel potentially plans to configure his lineup.

Missing in action:
No Logan Stanley who was supposed to play last night but didn’t play. Also missing is Dylan Samberg.
