Kristian Vesalainen had the Jets only scoring chance during overtime of their 2-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators in the 2019 Rookie Showcase in Belleville, Monday.

The Winnipeg Jets prospects put in a solid effort for the second straight night but didn’t get the result they wanted Monday to close out a tournament of NHL hopefuls in Belleville, Ont.

The Jets prospects were edged 2-1 by the Ottawa Senators in the last game of the 2019 Rookie Showcase at CAA Arena. Jonathan Gruden, a fourth-round pick of the Sens in 2018, flipped the winning goal past Jets goalie Griffen Outhouse at 2:40 of the three-on-three overtime period.
