Patrik Laine will make his Winnipeg Jets' debut tonight against the Edmonton Oilers. This will be the first NHL game for the 18-year-old Finnish forward.

Viewers in the Jets' region can catch the game on TSN GO starting at 7pm ct.

Laine, who was drafted second overall at this year's draft, will play with Nicolas Petan and fellow Finn Joel Armia.

Laine is fresh off an appearance at the World Cup of Hockey where he failed to pick up a point in three games.

Forward Mathieu Perreault will not play after leaving Thursday's game against the Minnesota Wild following an awkward collision. The club will give an update after the game against Edmonton.
