Oilers takeaways: Newcomers stand out in pre-season win over Jets

The Edmonton Oilers defeated the Winnipeg Jets 5-2 in a pre-season NHL game, with newcomer Alex Formenton standing out in his return after not playing an NHL game since April 29, 2022. Formenton scored a goal, registered four shots on net, and logged 16:47 of ice time, impressing head coach Mike Babcock who praised him as an elite penalty killer. Defenseman Ryan Shea also caught attention by holding his own alongside the top unit.
