When the Winnipeg Jets take the ice at Rexall Place in Edmonton tonight (8 p.m. CT), they’ll have five repeat players from their pre-season opener Tuesday at home.

The Jets will dress forwards Alex Burmistrov, Andrew Copp, Joel Armia and Thomas Raffl as well as defenceman Brendan Kichton to play against the Oilers. All participated in Tuesday’s 1-0 home-ice overtime loss to the Minnesota Wild.
