Winnipeg Jets pre-season game 3 roster and projected lines vs Oilers

The Jets last played on Saturday when they dropped a 3-2 decision to the Oilers in Edmonton in OT. Tonight they will have a more veteran heavy roster as they look to get their game going against those same Oilers. Of course after all the special teams work on Tuesday we should be seeing some new power play and penalty kill configurations this evening.

Roster:

G: Kaapo Kahkonen & Dominic DiVincentiis

D: Dylan DeMelo, Neal Pionk, Colin Miller, Simon Lundmark, Josh Morrissey, Dylan Samberg, Elias Salomonsson and Logan Stanley

F: Vladislav Namestnikov, Gabriel Vilardi, Rasmus Kupari, Adam Lowry, David Gustafsson, Nikolaj Ehlers, Jaret Anderson-Dolan, Mark Scheifele, Nino Niederreiter, Parker Ford, Kyle Connor and Brad Lambert.
