A look ahead to final game of Rookie Showcase between Jets and Senators prospects

The Jets prospects earned a 2-1 win last night over the Habs prospects courtesy of a goal by 2019 1st rounder Ville Heinola and a shorthanded game-winner by 2017 3rd rounder Johnathan Kovacevic as well as the backstopping of goalie Griffen Outhouse who saved 20 of the 21 shots he faced. Tonight they will wrap up things up against a Senators prospect team that beat them 8-1 on Friday night to open this tournament.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
