After taking care of Calgary’s prospects with a 4-2 victory last night, the Oilers will look to do the same against the hopefuls from Winnipeg. 

Despite Calgary icing a more experienced lineup in yesterday’s tournament opener, the Oilers were able to weather any storms they faced while maintaining their pace, eventually imposing their will on the Flames in the third period. Looking at tonight’s matchup against the Young Jets, I’m expecting another high flying game that’s (maybe) short on structure and polish but high in excitement as a product of some of the sloppiness.

Even though yesterday’s game didn’t feature any scraps or usual shenanigans that we generally get in these rookie tournaments, there was plenty of skill on display. Chances are that tonight will be the same. If the Oilers can repeat that same type of performance, and limit their mistakes in the neutral zone, then there is no reason that the Jets’ prospects won’t end up as #2 on the Young Stars kill list. That said, the Oilers could be a little bit lighter on skill after Gerry Fleming changed up the lineup to get more players on the ice. Either way, I’m expecting another entertaining affair as these prospects look to impress their future employers.

The game kicks off at 8:30pm MST and you’ll be able to find it streaming on the Oilers site.
