Winnipeg Jets' Jack Roslovic is chased by Edmonton Oilers' Matt Benning during first period NHL preseason action in Edmonton, Monday.
It had all the scintillating action you’d expect from the first pre-season game of the season for two NHL teams sitting most of their stars.
Which is to say that if you like mistimed passes, broken plays, multiple offsides and icings, you were in for a thrill-a-minute experience.
In the end, a collection of Edmonton Oilers players and prospects skated to a 2-0 victory over a makeshift group of Winnipeg Jets regulars and hopefuls Monday night at Rogers Place in Edmonton.
