The Winnipeg Jets rolled out an intriguing top six for Monday night’s pre-season game against the Calgary Flames.

Kyle Connor played on a line with captain Blake Wheeler and Mark Scheifele, while Nic Petan centred a trio including Patrik Laine and Nikolaj Ehlers. For Connor and Petan, it presented a golden opportunity to showcase their skills as they try to crack the team’s opening-day roster.

“I think anyone would want to play in that position. At the same time, I don’t think my game changes as far as paying attention to the defensive game,” Petan said following the morning skate.
