The Winnipeg Jets prospects aren’t earning any glowing toasts in Canadian wine country this weekend.
Actually, that’s not entirely fair. The play of goaltenders Jamie Phillips and Mikhail Berdin has been something to savour at the Young Stars Classic hockey tournament in Penticton, B.C.
Despite a sensational 35-save effort from Phillips, a 24-year-old puck-stopper from Caledonia, Ont., the Jets fell 3-0 to the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday night.
It was the second loss in as many nights for the young Jets squad. On Friday, Berdin stopped 35 shots as Winnipeg dropped a 4-2 decision to the Vancouver Canucks prospects.
