It has been less than a week since the Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup, but already the rest of the league is looking ahead to next season.

Wednesday, the Winnipeg Jets unveiled their seven game pre-season schedule for 2018 which begins with a home game versus the Minnesota Wild.

The first puck drop is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 17 at Bell MTS Place. The remainder of the schedule is listed below.
