Several players made their final cases for roster spots for opening day during the Winnipeg Jets second straight preseason win on Saturday against the Calgary Flames.
As he has all preseason, Nic Petan looked great and at this point, would be a shock to see sent down to the American Hockey League. Also helping Petan is the unfortunate injury suffered by Mathieu Perreault, who left the game holding his left knee. If Perreault is out for any period of time, you would think that would only strengthen Petan’s chances to make the team, although losing Perreault would obviously be a big blow to the Jets.
