SAY HELLO TO THE BIG GUY
Logan Stanley will make his NHL debut tonight, paired with veteran defenceman Nathan Beaulieu. The Jets first round pick in 2016 is from Kitchener, Ontario so his first game coming against the Leafs in Toronto is a perfect situation.
"Yesterday Huds (Jets assistant coach Charlie Huddy) kind of hinted at it and I will playing with Beau (Nathan Beaulieu) in practice," said Stanley.
"This morning for morning skate, he told me I was in the lineup. Put a big smile on my face."
Stanley will be the 10th first round pick of the Jets to play at least one NHL game since the team relocated to Winnipeg.
