We all know by now not to make too much an Edmonton Oilers pre-season win, even one as satisfying as Edmonton's 2-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets on Monday night.
This was, after all, not the real Jets, but the faux-Jets. Out of their top 18 scorers from 2018-19, Winnipeg iced just two players, Bryan Little and Jack Roslovic. Half of those 18 Jets aren't with the team due to trades, free agency and contract hold-outs. It left Winnipeg with a seriously lacking line-up. That said, the Oilers did indeed look good, especially when it came to executing the new up-the-middle break-out play. David Staples and Bruce McCurdy of the Cult of Hockey dig in.
