Mikhail Berdin
The flashy Russian goalie with a penchant for playing the puck has taken over the crease for the KHL’s SKA St. Petersburg and is playing in the exact same way he did for the past two seasons as a member of the Manitoba Moose, throwing body checks behind the net and making unorthodox, outrageous saves.The 21-year-old, who many consider being the heir apparent to the Jets’ backup role next season, is 4-3-2 with a 2.64 GAA and .909 SV% in 10 games. He also has an assist.
Leon Gawanke
Gawanke was loaned to the DEL’s Eisbären Berlin, his hometown team, back in September. However, the start of the season has been delayed due to COVID-19. The league intended to begin in mid-November, but has had to push that date back. Gawanke turned heads in his 2019-20 rookie campaign with the Moose as he rose from a player in and out of the lineup as a healthy scratch to the quarterback of their top power play. He paced all Moose blue-liners in points with 26
David Gustafsson
Gustafsson, who played 22 games with the Jets at the beginning of last season before playing in the World Juniors for Sweden and then the Moose, is lighting it up in the HockeyAllsvenskan League for Tingsryds AIF as their first-line centre thus far. The 20-year-old 2018 selection has posted two goals and six assists in eight games and will compete for a bottom-six role on the Jets upon his return this winter.
Ville Heinola
The Jets’ top defensive prospect has played six games with Lukko Rauma of SM-liiga on their top d-pairing, and has recorded four assists while skating an average of 18:38. Heinola also finished the 2019-20 season there, playing 29 games, after turning heads in eight games for the Jets to begin the season and representing Finland at the 2020 World Juniors. The 2019 20th-overall selection will certainly challenge for a full-time spot on the Jets’ in-flux blue line in 2020-21.
Joona Luoto
Another Jet playing in the SM-liiga is 23-year-old joona Luoto. He has recorded two goals and two assists in eight games with HIFK Helsinki (he faced Heinola and Lukko Rauma on Oct. 16 and scored a goal.) Signed prior to the 2019-20 season as a free agent out of Tappara Tampere, he played 16 games with the Jets last season, recording no points, and 18 games with the Moose, registering four assists before an upper-body injury that required surgery ended his season
