Add Brandon Tanev to the long list of prospects who will get an audition with the Winnipeg Jets before the curtain closes on the 2015-16 season.
The Jets were not on the ice Thursday, but Tanev is expected to practise with the club today in advance of their game against the Chicago Blackhawks and could be pulling on a jersey for his NHL debut soon after.
In the meantime, the newest Jet — signed Wednesday after a superb career at Providence College — plans to soak in every nanosecond of his first experience around the pro game.
