It’s a tall order for any player, jumping right out of junior and having to face a lineup that includes arguably the world’s best player.
It added up to a tough night at the office for Winnipeg Jets prospect Logan Stanley, who was burned on three occasions Thursday while taking on the Edmonton Oilers in pre-season action.
The Jets battled hard with a young, rather inexperienced group but ultimately fell 7-3 at Rogers Place.
Stanley, 20, had a solid debut on Monday night at Bell MTS Place in a 2-1 victory over the Minnesota Wild in which he was paired with Dustin Byfuglien, but struggled in his second game against a more potent roster while skating in a pairing with journeyman defenceman Joe Morrow.
