GameDay Thread: Winnipeg Jets vs Minnesota Wild

We have some hockey to watch! The Winnipeg Jets open their preseason at home versus the Minnesota Wild. The Winnipeg Jets will be dressing a fair share of top end talent and top prospects. The Wild are dressing a load of NHLers too, but most may as well be nameless AHLers. It is game one. This is largely a learning experience for youth. Let's see what the kids can do.

For those unaware, the game will be available on TSN3 tonight

Player to Watch

After a strong showing in Penticton, all eyes will be on Nikolaj Ehlers. Ehlers will be lining up along side Mathieu Perreault - a player that could end up centring him this season should he make the Jets. How will the kid look playing alongside and against men? Don't be surprised if he looks just fine.
