WINNIPEG - Jack Roslovic's first NHL game was a dream come true.
Not only is it a fond memory for the 20-year-old, but it was a historical evening for the young centre who grew up just minutes away from Nationwide Arena in Columbus, OH.
That night, as the Winnipeg Jets skated to a 5-4 win over the Blue Jackets, Roslovic became the first home grown player to participate in an NHL game.
It's a memory that motivated him all off-season.
