Note:  The Jets were defeated 7-3 by the Oilers in Edmonton last night but no time to dwell on the loss as they will face the Flames tonight here in Winnipeg.  Puck drop is at 7 pm at Bell MTS Place.

Winnipeg Sun: Shoulder injury in the past as Jets D prospect Nelson Nogier ready to battle After getting into 10 NHL games two seasons ago he was set back after being injured in the first pre-season game for the Moose last season.  But he has worked very hard to put himself back into a position to get noticed by the big club.

Winnipeg Free Press:  Oilers’ vets too much for young Jets.  (Paywall).  There was a pretty clear disparity between the veteran heavy Oilers and prospect Jets squad.

Winnipeg Free Press: Morrissey relishes playing against McDavid. (Paywall).  Talk about being thrown into the deep end of the pool.

Jets video:

TSN: Despite poor result, Roslovic and Lemieux impressive for Jets.  Playing mostly young players, the Jets were beat handily by the Oilers, as Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Ty Rattie combined for five goals and 11 points. Despite the poor result, youngsters Jack Roslovic and Brendan Lemieux were impressive and have given themselves a good chance to stay full-time with Winnipeg. Kevin Sawyer and Dennis Beyak have more.
