The Jets split their four matches last season, beating the Topeka RoadRunners and the Minnesota Magicians each by a score of 2-0, while dropping one-goal contests to the Odessa Jackalopes (3-2) and the Aberdeen Wings (1-0). Jack LaFontaine, who was selected 75th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in June’s NHL Draft, shut out Topeka and held Aberdeen to just one marker, stopping 48 of 49 shots between the two contests.
