Jets forward doesn't want to spend his career playing on the fourth line
MIKE DEAL / WINNIPEG FREE PRESS FILESNic Petan enjoys being part of the cast — even though he gets limited screen time — but the 22-year-old centre doesn’t want to be a career extra with the Winnipeg Jets.
He’s gunning for a much bigger role with the NHL club.
The Delta, B.C., native has struggled during the 2016-17 season, scoring just once and adding 12 assists in 52 games while mostly getting into action centering the club’s fourth line with a carousel of wingers and on the power play. He’s also a minus-13, which doesn’t exactly bolster his ambition to get more ice time.
