WINNIPEG-- The Winnipeg Jets have trimmed four more players from their training camp roster today.

Jets coach Claude Noel said this morning that the team has released forward David Koci, who was on a training-camp tryout, has put forwards Spencer Machacek and defenceman Brett Festerling on waivers and will assign them to the AHL's St. John's IceCaps if they clear, and will assign forward Carl Klingberg to the IceCaps.

That will leave the team with 32 players still in camp, though five of them are on the injured list.

The Jets meet the Nashville Predators tonight at the MTS Centre at 7:30 p.m. (TSN Jets, 1290AM). It's Winnipeg's final game of the exhibition season.

The NHL's regular season begins for the first time in Winnipeg in 15 years on Oct. 9, with the Jets against Montreal.
