Winnipeg Jets sign goalie Oskari Salminen to a two-year, entry-level contract

Many Jets fans and media are typing in the name Oskari Salminen into google after the Jets just announced that they have signed the Finnish netminder to a two-year ELC.

He is an undrafted goalie from Kotka, Finland.

Also move over Mikhail Berdin cause Oskari Salminen would like to have a word with you…

He spent this past season with Jukurit Mikkeli in Liiga where he played 55 games (.920 save % & a 2.07 GAA) and as per the Release by Winnipeg he was coached by former Jets forward Olli Jokinen.

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.
