Edmonton Oilers celebrate the win over the Winnipeg Jets during overtime NHL preseason action in Edmonton, Sunday, Sept. 22, 2024. Edmonton Oilers head coach Kris Knoblauch was happy with his team’s start to exhibition play, especially considering not a single player in his lineup on Sunday played with the club during its lengthy recent playoff run.
“A lot of guys played really well,” Knoblauch said. “The defensive corps, all six of them played really well, obviously highlighted by Dineen.Making a strong first impression with his first goal was O’Reilly, who the Oilers traded up to select 32nd overall in the 2024 NHL entry draft.“I tried to come in with a good mindset, to stay positive and stick to myself and what I do, but obviously going out there and seeing all those people, you get a little nervous,” O’Reilly said.
“It was sloppy at times, some of the execution was off, but at the end of the day, it came down to an OT game for the fans and it was fun.” Collin Delia, who spent last season with the Jets’ AHL affiliate the Manitoba Moose, came in to replace Rodrigue in the Edmonton net midway through the second.
