Oilers Preparing to Get Slaughtered Tonight Because of This

The Edmonton Oilers aren't putting any of their star players in the game tonight. No Connor McDavid, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Leon Draisaitl, etc. Which is a good and conservative thing, you don't want them getting hurt in a preseason game.
Well, on the other side, you have the Winnipeg Jets. The Jets are starting their full top line, with notable names being Kyle Connor, Mark Scheifele, and Josh Morrissey.
You can just see the difference between the two rosters. Two different approaches are being taken here. One being Edmonton - we aren't taking any type of chance. The other one being Winnipeg - get the stars back into the swing of things.
Either way, the Oilers are the way weaker side here, and fans should not freak out about this game on either side. Except if Winnipeg loses, then Jets fans may want to raise some suspicion.
