After recording back-to-back losses to begin the tournament, the Winnipeg Jets closed the Young Stars Classic in Penticton, B.C. with a 5-4 overtime win over the Edmonton Oilers on Monday night.
It was a good day for two guys in the mix for roster spots, Nikolaj Ehlers and Andrew Copp. Ehlers made a nice, no-look pass into the slot where Copp eventually put it in to give the Jets a 1-0 lead. The two hooked up again a few minutes later when Ehlers made a beautiful slap pass to a streaking Copp. Ehlers would record another real nice assist to give him three on the contest and head coach Keith McCambridge said afterwards via winnipegjets.
