  "account": "The Edmonton Oilers managed to thwart the Winnipeg Jets once more in a recent exhibition game. Head coach Scott Arniel of the Jets expressed disappointment, stating that the reaction wouldn't have been as composed if the game held regular-season implications. The Jets experienced a 2-1 overtime defeat, securing a pre-season record of 1-1-1.\n\nThe video evidence suggested that the Oilers had at least four players involved in a line change that turned into a two-on-one rush, resulting in Zack Hyman setting up Viljami Marjala for a goal. This left the Jets on the receiving end of an unfavorable 2-1 overtime loss.\n\nWinnipeg head coach Scott Arniel was particularly concerned about the missed slapper from defenceman Dylan Samberg, which set up the Oilers' goal. He expressed frustration, stating, \"I’m more concerned about that. It is what it is. Tough one for (Jets goaltender) Dom (DiVincentiis), because he was fantastic.\"\n\nDiVincentiis, who was vying for the backup job behind Stuart Skinner, had a steady performance with 21 saves. The Jets will close out their exhibition schedule on Friday against the Colorado Avalanche, with a roster resembling the opening-game lineup.",
