Petan seeks to put best foot forward

Centre Nic Petan’s window might be limited in this go-round with the Winnipeg Jets but the 20-year-old rookie pro has a clear picture of what he needs to do.

Petan, who started the 2015-16 season with the Jets and played 14 games, was summoned back to the NHL team Thursday as an emergency recall and was on the ice Friday night against the Chicago Blackhawks at the MTS Centre.

Given that a couple of the team’s injured forwards (Nikolaj Ehlers and Joel Armia) are now skating, Petan’s opportunity isn’t unlimited at the moment.
