Report: Winnipeg Jets prospect Nathan Smith invited to play for Team USA at Beijing Olympics

The Jets prospect could be heading to China next month.

One Jets prospect who has earned a lot of focus this season is 2018 3rd rounder Nathan Smith. He is in his junior year Minnesota State U – Mankato and has 11 goals and 16 assists for 27 points in 20 games which matches his career high but in 15 fewer games. That is good enough to be tied for second overall in NCAA scoring.
