It looked like a potential mismatch on paper. And that's exactly how it played out on the ice Friday night as a group of Winnipeg Jets prospects suffered a beatdown in British Columbia.

The Jets were routed 8-2 in the first of two "Young Stars" games being played this weekend against the some of the brightest Vancouver Canucks hopefuls.

Winnipeg's roster for this event doesn't have the same pedigree as Vancouver, which has filled the prospect pool in recent years through high draft picks and trades.
