Overview

• Winnipeg fell 3-2 to Edmonton at Canada Life Centre, dropping the Jets to 0-1-1 in the preseason.
• Jonathan Toews skated 22 shifts for 18:36, won 55% of faceoffs, finished minus-one, and opened as center with Cole Perfetti and Gustav Nyquist on his wings.
• Scoring breakdown: Edmonton’s Quinn Hutson, Isaac Howard on the power play, and Ty Emberson; Winnipeg’s Colin Miller and a late tip by Colby Barlow.
• Goaltending split: Jets’ Eric Comrie stopped 14 of 17 shots; the Oilers’ Calvin Pickard and Matt Tomkins combined to turn aside 21 of 23.
• Toews and coach Scott Arniel called the outing a step with conditioning and timing still building, and the teams meet again Friday in a road rematch in Edmonton.
