Note III: This was a late addition to the morning papers so in case you missed it here is how a pair of Jets prospects did last night. In the battle between Walton twins, Jets prospect Kieron (2024 6th) came out on the losing side against brother Conor as Peterborough lost to Windsor in a SO although he did finish with 1G 1A which puts him in a tie for 2nd overall in OHL points race. Over in the SHL, defenceman Alfons Freij (2024 2nd) is on quite the run scoring his fifth goal in the last four games.
