Winnipeg Jets' Jansen Harkins works to control a bouncing puck in front of Nashville Predators goaltender Juuse Saros during the third period in Winnipeg on Tuesday. The game marked the first time Harkins' father Todd had seen his soon play in the NHL in person.
When Todd Harkins found out his son Jansen had been called up to the Winnipeg Jets on Dec. 18, he couldn’t help but break down in tears.
Todd, a North Vancouver resident, was flying to Toronto and when he landed, he played a voice message from Jansen informing him of the big news.
