20-year-old forward Nic Petan making strong case to make Winnipeg Jets out of training camp

He'd grabbed the puck in the slot and passed up the shot.

But after weaving around the net and finding himself alone on the side boards, Nic Petan made his move: straight for the net and a job with the Winnipeg Jets.

Not all rookies are created equal. Petan is smaller than most, more skilled than many.

But after providing one of the game-changing moments in Tuesday pre-season outing against Ottawa – his drive to the net drew a penalty that produced the power-play goal with some five minutes to go as the Jets came back from a 3-0 deficit to win – he's so close to making the team he can taste it.
