Oilers ride strong second period to 4-1 win over Jets
WINNIPEG — Pre-season or not, if they wanted validation for signing Jussi Jokinen the Edmonton Oilers got it Wednesday night.
Jokinen had a goal and two assists as Edmonton beat the Winnipeg Jets 4-1 in pre-season action.
“He’s a left-handed version of me’” Mark Letestu said with a grin. “He’s good in the shootout, plays in all situations. When you watch him it just screams veteran player… He’s done a good job fitting in. He’s a good piece for us.”
Three second-period goals — two within 13 seconds of each other — locked it down for Edmonton (3-0-0).
