- As mentioned, Steve Mason gets the start and makes his debut for the Jets tonight. He will likely go the distance much like Connor Hellebuyck did the other night vs the Wild. Michael Hutchinson is his backup.
- The Jets “top six” remains the same, but the battle to figure out who gets put into the third and fourth lines continues including the debut of former Oiler Matt Hendricks who has gotten a fair amount of attention and it doesn’t look like there are any plans to have him be an AHL-bound veteran or a press box jockey.

- Laurent Brossoit and Nick Ellis will split time in goal for the Oilers tonight, each of them going about half a game each.
- Jets killer Mark Letestu already has two goals this preseason that he scored against Calgary on Monday, he may score 7 more tonight against Winnipeg.
- Kailer Yamamoto was the Oilers first round pick from this past entry draft and had a very strong debut.
