The Jets face the Oilers tonight in a preseason matchup taking place at Rogers Place in Edmonton, and lineups for the game have been revealed. Winnipeg is still waiting for its first victory after losing a 3-2 decision against the Oilers on Tuesday, <a href='https://www.nhl.com/jets/news/gameday-jets-at-oilers-x2945' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>and will now play its first road game tonight at Rogers Place</a> against the same opponent. Like they often do in September, the Jets are icing a young roster. Veterans Nino Niederreiter, Vladislav Namestnikov, and Alex Iafallo will play their first preseason games, while fifth-round pick from 2022 Dominic DiVincentiis starts between the pipes. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLJets/status/1971639461906981252'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> The 20-year-old, who excelled at the 2025 Prospect Showdown with a 38-save effort, will go the full distance with Isaac Poulter providing relief. Forwards Colby Barlow, Brad Lambert, and Danny Zhilkin will play on a line together, providing another opportunity to make an impression. Lambert was more comfortable on Tuesday with two assists. <h3>Elias Salomonsson is Dealing With an Illness and Will Miss Some Time</h3> Ashton Sautner fills in on defence for Elias Salomonsson, who is out with illness. The Jets play Calgary at home on Saturday, and then roster decisions will be made. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHLJets/status/1971606327257678115'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> The Oilers are also relying on a youth movement. Andrew Mangiapane, who scored in Wednesday's 4-1 defeat against Seattle, will share ice time with Adam Henrique, who could replace Zach Hyman while <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/edmonton-oilers/edmonton-oilers-head-coach-kris-knoblauch-announces-an-expected-return-date-for-zach-hyman' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>he is out</a>. Star prospects Ike Howard and Matt Savoie will also play bigger roles. Incidentally, they are separating Darnell Nurse from Jake Walman, whom they will combine with Troy Stecher. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Bob_Stauffer/status/1971614906878505218'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Both GM Stan Bowman and head coach Kris Knoblauch have intimated that Walman will, at some point this year, be given a longer look on Nurse's right side, but preseason is about as ideal a time as any to test chemistry. Both teams are also still perfecting lineups and testing youth; today's contest provides another crucial step towards end-of-roster cuts. Look for lots of fights over roster spots as the preseason gets serious.
