ZHILKIN’S CONFIDENCE GROWING
Danny Zhilkin had a solid final two months with the Manitoba Moose last season and has carried that momentum into this one. Zhilkin scored two times against Montreal in the Jets first game of the 2025 Prospect Showdown, he added a primary assist on Fabian Wagner’s OT winner over Ottawa. The Jets 2022 third round pick’s goal tonight looked like it would be the game winner before Hunter Haight tied the contest late in the third period.
“Yeah it’s been going pretty good. I had momentum on the back end of last season, just had a great summer and knew what I had to work on, knew that I had to come into camp in shape,” said Zhilkin.
“I think I did that, I think I feel pretty good out there and I’m hoping to continue this momentum.”
GETTING TO KNOW FAGEMO
The Jets signed Fagemo back in July to a one-year, two-way deal. The Swedish forward had a strong campaign in 2024-25 with the Ontario Reign (LA Kings affiliate) with 29 goals in 67 games in the AHL.
“On the ice I just do my best, show up to practices, games and do my absolute best,” said Fagemo.
“I think I will try to have fun and it’s such a great experience to come here and just have fun.”
