AutoDraft Pro AI

Winnipeg Jets rookie goaltender Thomas Milic, 22, may start Monday against the Buffalo Sabres, following a mixed but encouraging NHL debut. In his first appearance, Milic stopped 30 of 34 shots, helping keep the Jets competitive and shutting down four power plays. While showing poise, he also had rookie moments, including a misplayed puck and goals beating him glove-side. Defensive breakdowns contributed to three goals against. The Jets hope he builds on the experience against a surging Sabres team.
