WINNIPEG, MB -That's it, we're going back to Winnipeg.
The Oilers continue their preseason run with a second game against the Jets, this time at the Canada Life Centre. The two clubs hooked up back on September 25, with the Oilers coming out on top with a 4-0 victory at Rogers Place.
Edmonton was propelled by goals from Markus Niemelainen, James Hamblin, Ryan McLeod, and Dylan Holloway - while the goaltending tandem of Stuart Skinner and Calvin Pickard stopped all 29 shots they faced for the combined shutout.
Local product Tyler Benson skated in that game and will likely have another shot to get on the scoresheet against the Jets on Saturday night as well. The 24-year-old, who has been a fixture for the Bakersfield Condors the last few seasons, has liked the growth in his game coming into this year's training camp.
"I've been happy with our camp, I've felt good on the ice. It's been a good group to be with and compete with," Benson said. "I feel like I've made some big strides throughout the summer and I've played well."
