Hockey season is officially back! Tonight, September 23, 2025, the Edmonton Oilers travel to the Canada Life Centre to take on the Winnipeg Jets in a highly anticipated preseason matchup. Both teams are looking to shake off the rust and get a feel for their new rosters, making this a must-watch for any hockey fan.
The puck drops at 8:00 PM ET, and whether you’re in the US or Canada, we’ve got you covered on how to tune in.
How to Watch Oilers vs. Jets in Canada
In Canada, you can catch the game on TSN3. For those in the Oilers’ region, the game will also be available on Sportsnet West and Sportsnet Oilers. The game will be available to stream on TSN.ca and the TSN app for those on the go.
Last season, the Oilers had a fantastic run, finishing with a record of 48-29-5 and making it all the way to the Stanley Cup Final. They’ll be looking to build on that success and finally bring the cup back to Edmonton. The Jets, on the other hand, had an incredible regular season, finishing first in the Central Division with a record of 56-22-4. They’ll be looking for a deeper playoff run this year and it all starts tonight.
This is the first of two preseason meetings between these two Canadian rivals, with the second game taking place in Edmonton on Friday, September 26. Expect a hard-fought battle as players on both sides will be looking to impress their coaches and earn a spot on the opening night roster.
How to Watch Oilers vs. Jets in the USA
For fans in the United States, the game will be available to stream on NHL Power Play on ESPN+. This is your go-to destination for out-of-market NHL games all season long. You can also find the game on other streaming services that carry ESPN, such as Sling Orange, DIRECTV STREAM, YouTube TV, Hulu + Live TV, and Fubo.
Game Prediction
This is a tough one to call. The Jets have the home-ice advantage and will be looking to make a statement after a disappointing playoff exit last season. However, the Oilers are coming off a Stanley Cup Final appearance and have the best player in the world in Connor McDavid. I’m predicting a close, hard-fought game with the Oilers winning 4-3 in overtime.
