Status report
Hellebuyck was away from the Jets for two days for personal reasons, but will start. … In Oilers camp on a professional tryout before being signed to a contract Tuesday, Dermott will make his Edmonton debut on the third defense pair with Kulak in place of Stecher. … Jeff Skinner, who also will play his first game with the Oilers, will start the game next to Draisaitl, but is expected to bounce between second- and third-line left wing throughout the game … Stuart Skinner will make his first opening-night start in his three seasons in Edmonton.
