Other Winnipeg prospects, such as Oskari Salminen and Dmitry Kuzmin, also played key roles for the Admirals last season. Salminen, who appeared in 12 games as goalie, posted an 8-2-1 record with a 2.82 GAA. Notably, he even made history by becoming the second goaltender in Admirals' history to score a goal, accomplishing this feat against the Atlanta Gladiators on March 29.
The extended affiliation promises continued development and success for these young players as they work towards their NHL aspirations and maybe even becoming future Winnipeg Jets fan favorites.
