Jets First-Round Pick Lighting It up in Top Finnish Men's League Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/nhl/jets-first-round-pick-lighting-it-up-in-top- finnish-mens-league-473852293.html Jets first-round pick lighting it up in top Finnish men's league By: Mike McIntyre Attention, Winnipeg Jets fans. We interrupt what has been a pretty special season so far to bring you some news that should have you positively giddy. The team looks to have another good one on the way. Like, potentially really good. Kristian Vesalainen, selected 24th overall in the first round of last summer's NHL draft, is having a magical season as he plays in the top men's league in Finland. The 18-year-old power forward is putting up the kind of numbers rarely seen by a player his age. Vesalainen has 19 goals and 19 assists in 41 games with HPK Hameenlinna of the Finnish Elite League, otherwise know as Liiga. To put that in perspective, only five Finnish players have posted more points in a single season in that league prior to hitting their 19th birthday. And Vesalainen has played fewer games than all of them, meaning he could further climb the charts before his year is done. The Free Press spoke with Vesalainen and his coach, Antti Pennanen, in telephone interviews Monday from Finland. "It's not usual. He's a special kid, I think," said Pennanen. "This is something that doesn't happen." Vesalainen — who at 6-3 and 207 pounds has previously said he models his game after Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin — admits there was some adjustment to being in a league where the majority of players are men, in some cases more than a decade older than him with a wealth of pro experience. "In the beginning it was tough, but I think now it's very good for me," Vesalainen said. "I don't know if my own game has improved so much, but I think our team is playing a lot better, so it's easy to play better. It's been great for me." Vesalainen spent the past two seasons in the Swedish Hockey League, with just one goal and five assists in 26 games last season. He also joined HPK for nine games near the end of the season, registering just one goal and no assists. He first turned heads on an international stage last spring when he was named MVP of the IIHF Under-18 World Championship. He had six goals and seven assists in seven games for Finland, which captured silver. Winnipeg had the 13th pick last year, but traded it to Vegas so they would select Chris Thorburn in the expansion draft and stay away from other exposed players, including Toby Enstrom. The Golden Knights selected Ontario Hockey League forward Nick Suzuki with the pick. Vesalainen didn't attend training camp with the Jets, signing a one-year deal to play a full season with HPK. It's a move that appears to have paid off. "He was having difficulties at the beginning of the season. But after that he's been really good, really good. After world juniors he's been even better than before that. Of course, I think he got some self-confidence after world juniors," said Pennanen. "He's a good kid, cheerful and open- minded and coachable. I think this is one of his strengths, he wants to learn every day new skills and things. So he's coachable. He has great confidence, but he's not arrogant." Finland went 2-2-0 in round-robin play at the world junior championship, but was eliminated in the quarter-finals with a shootout loss to the Czech Republic. Vesalainen led the team in scoring with two goals and four assists in five games. "I think we had a great team and I thought we would go much more longer. I thought we could get a medal from there. I was a little bit disappointed, but I think I played pretty well," he said. Vesalainen has scored 11 goals and added eight assists in 15 games since returning last month from the world juniors in Buffalo. Many have been of the highlight-reel variety and made their rounds on social media, with Jets fans gleefully sharing them with followers. "I don't have Twitter so I don't see that," Vesalainen said Monday with a laugh. "Absolutely that's great that they are watching my games and highlights. It's nice." The Jets have been keeping a close eye on Vesalainen; co-ordinator of player development Jimmy Roy spent a week in Finland earlier this season. Roy said Monday he came away impressed. "Kristian is great kid and working with some really good coaches. I think they both deserve a lot of credit for how Kristian's game has taken off after a slow start. Kristian has a good understanding of what he needs to do to build his identity as a player and his path to becoming an NHL player," said Roy. "As like every young player, there’s areas of his game that he needs to work on and become more consistent with, but because he has such a great work ethic and commitment, there’s been some real good progress in his game." Pennanen said he has no doubt Vesalainen is a future NHLer and could make the jump as early as next season. "He has improved a lot this season. One-on-one skills, battling skills, he uses his teammates better then when he came here. He's a hard worker, practises a lot every day. I think he can play. We use him in many different situations. He's versatile," said Pennanen. "When he came here, he was like an individual player. Now he understands better how he can use his teammates, but he still he has to improve that if he wants to be an NHL player, because the game is so fast he has to use his teammates, and how to use his strengths in a small area. Because every situation is happening so fast." Vesalainen made it clear he wants to make the Jets as quickly as possible. With the Jets having a pair of regular-season games against the Florida Panthers next fall slated for Helsinki, Vesalainen said he'd love to be in the lineup along with fellow Finns Patrik Laine and Joel Armia. "I think it's great to have games here. All the Finnish Jets fans and NHL fans can see the games. I think it's going to be pretty great," he said. "It's going to be one of my goals next year to (make the team). But I just am thinking about this season, not thinking so much about next season. Just play this season and see how it goes, then we'll see after that." Winnipeg Sun http://winnipegsun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/winnipeg-jets/how-active-will-jets-be-trade-deadline- fewer-than-two-weeks-away How active will Jets be?: Trade deadline fewer than two weeks away By Ken Wiebe Who will blink first in this high stakes game of chicken? It’s that time of the year in the NHL, when phone calls and text messages gauging interest pick up in frequency. With 13 days to go before the arrival of the NHL trade deadline, the long list of buyers are looking to bring in a player or several to bolster the lineup, while the sellers are trying to stockpile for the future and bring in the largest possible return. This is a time-honoured song and dance, one that is ripe with a potential reward but also has consequences, some of which can be far-reaching. Just ask the 2006-07 Atlanta Thrashers, who finished first in the Southeast Division, only to be swept by the New York Rangers. But not before Thrashers general manager Don Waddell brought in forward Keith Tkachuk and defenceman Alexei Zhitnik in separate deals that cost the organization several high draft picks and defenceman Braydon Coburn. The pressure to win was on for Waddell, so he made a couple of aggressive deals that ultimately didn’t work out. Which brings us to the Winnipeg Jets, who went into Monday’s action with a record of 32-15-9, leaving them in second place in the Central Division standings. With a winning percentage of .635, the Jets ranked fifth in the NHL, which makes them a legitimate contender for the Stanley Cup. So instead of looking to unload expiring contracts to bring in future assets, the Jets seem to have arrived at that fork in the road where they’re ready to sacrifice draft picks and prospects in order to try and make a deep playoff run. The Jets interest in a top-six forward has been widely reported and makes sense on a lot of levels. While the Jets have found better balance this season and became more of a four-line hockey team, a recent rash of injuries has created a bit more urgency to make a deal, even with Mark Scheifele back after missing six weeks with a suspect shoulder issue. One thing the Jets don’t have an abundance of on their current roster are guys with a lot of post- season experience. Dustin Byfuglien is the only guy with a Stanley Cup ring, but that came with the Chicago Blackhawks back in 2010 and he’s only been to the playoffs once since then – in 2015, when the Anaheim Ducks swept the Jets in the opening round.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE APRIL 22, 2019 STANLEY CUP PLAYOFF SECOND-ROUND BERTHS AT STAKE IN GAME 7 DOUBLEHEADER TUESDAY NEW YORK (April 22, 2019) -- Two Stanley Cup Playoff series will be decided in a Game 7 doubleheader Tuesday when the Boston Bruins play host to the Toronto Maple Leafs (7 p.m., ET, NBCSN, Sportsnet, CBC, TVAS), followed by the San Jose Sharks facing the Vegas Golden Knights (10 p.m., ET, NBCSN, Sportsnet, TVAS). The past two playoff series between the Bruins and Maple Leafs have culminated in unprecedented Game 7 drama, both occurring at TD Garden. In 2013, Boston became the first team in NHL history to overcome a three-goal, third-period deficit to win a Game 7 (Boston 5, Toronto 4 ,OT). In 2018, the Bruins became the first team in League history to overcome three deficits of at least one goal to win a Game 7 in regulation (Boston 7, Toronto 4). Five current Bruins appeared in both the 2013 and 2018 contests: goaltender Tuukka Rask, defenseman Zdeno Chara and forwards Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Krejci. Two Maple Leafs players have done so: defenseman Jake Gardiner and forward Nazem Kadri. Chara (0-4--4 in 12 GP) is set to tie an NHL record by playing in his 13th career Game 7, joining all-time co-leaders Patrick Roy and Scott Stevens.
