Terrence Lee-USA TODAY Sports It is time to play Connor McDavid again. Time: 6:00 PM CDT Channel: Sportsnet1 Radio: TSN1290 The Winnipeg Jets are playing the Edmonton Oilers and will have the difficult task of stopping Connor McDavid who has been eating the NHL alive this season. Stop McDavid and you probably have a chance to beat them. The Jets have had success stopping McDavid in the past, but they have a much weaker defence than they have in

Another Hometown Hockey game for the Winnipeg Jets tonight and they haven’t gone particularly well so far this season with the Jets 0-2-0 so far on Sundays. Tonight could also be a tough task for the Jets as the Edmonton Oilers come into town with the best record in the league at 7-1-0. Here are some things to watch for tonight… 1 ) The Oilers are actually good? It had to happen eventually right? After something like 13 seasons of major sucktitude save for one blip in 2016 when Connor McDavid dragged the entire team into the playoffs, the Edmonton Oilers actually look like a competent NHL club this year. All it took was for the team to find the right recycled NHL coach in Dave Tippett, and for the Calgary Flames to not only gift them James Neal (who had one under-performing year in Calgary), BUT also take back Milan Lucic and his horrifically bad contract off of Edmonton’s hands in what will go down as maybe the dum

Ville Heinola is fast approaching the nine-game threshold — the maximum number the Winnipeg Jets can allow the rookie defenseman to suit up for before they must “burn” a year of his entry-level contract. In this case, the Jets should allow that year to burn, baby, burn, like a Disco Inferno. Heinola Makes Jets’ Defence Better The simple fact is Heinola has been one of the best of the Jets’ makeshift blue line. The defence was a huge question mark coming into 2019-20 and is no less of one now, nine games in. The 18-year-old has great hockey IQ and vision, makes efficient and effective reads more often than not, and moves the puck extremely well. He has done nothing but impress, beginning with the outstand
