Tonight, the Winnipeg Jets made their pre-season debut and several of the team's top prospects made a strong first impression. The Winnipeg Jets have been open about turning to their youth this upcoming season to replace the production lost after Nikolaj Ehlers left for the Carolina Hurricanes. While Brad Lambert and Brayden Yager are expected to get the most opportunities to fill that role multiple Jets prospects put their name in the conversation with strong games against the Minnesota Wild. <h3>Winnipeg Jets Top Prospects Impress During Pre-Season Contest</h3> The Jets came out of the game flying putting up a pair of goals to take a confident lead. First, Morgan Barron buried a goal assisted by intriguing defensive prospect Elias Salomonsson on a shot from the point. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/sportstalkwpg/status/1969875225388122414'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Salomonsson, 21, is expected to be one of the top defensemen in the AHL playing for the Manitoba Moose but could change the front office's minds if he steps up in these pre-season games. Then, former Jets 4th round pick Kevin He came up with an incredible assist which was put home by Danny Zhilkin who has had a very impressive training camp so far. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/nhl/status/1969878156287873413'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Zhilkin continued his breakout campaign after dominating the Jets prospect camp earlier this month. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/icdave/status/1969463883145335084'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/icdave/status/1967416942291239098'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/icdave/status/1967407639803101304'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Zhilkin in particular has made some noise that could lead to him getting some consideration from Scott Arniel for an opening night roster spot. If Zhilkin does not make the roster, he still is in line for a significantly increased role in Manitoba due to his impressive summer campaign. The Jets will take the ice on Tuesday against the Edmonton Oilers in their next tune up game ahead of the regular season.
