The Winnipeg Jets are continuing their strong start to the season with a roster full of young talent. The team has signed several prospects, including Viggo Bjorck, Brayden Yager, Isak Rosen, Tyrel Bauer and Elias Salomonsson. Along with these young players, the Jets have another dozen drafted and developing prospects spending time with the Manitoba Moose, a minor league affiliate.
Currently, the Moose have a remarkable 10-4-0 start to the season, tying them for third in points and fifth overall in point percentage in the American Hockey League. Defenceman Nico Daws and forward Danny Zhilkin are top scorers for the Moose, with Yager recently receiving a promotion. The goaltending tandem of Dom DiVincentiis and Thomas Milic has been stellar, with DiVincentiis and Milic posting impressive statistics in their respective starts.
The Jets' roster is a little lean when it comes to junior hockey prospects in Canada, but they have eight college kids currently balancing hockey and a post-secondary education.
