The Jets picked up their first win of the pre-season on Wednesday night against an AHL version of the Oilers. Tonight they are expected to face a more veteran Wild lineup when they take on Minnesota in St. Paul.
Winnipeg are certainly dealing with some injuries (Heinola & Stanley) there is good news that Dylan Samberg, who was nicked up in the game against Edmonton is expected to play tonight.
