Head Coach Rick Bowness says the decisions on Harkins and fellow veteran Dominic Toninato were part of the process of reducing the training camp roster to a more workable number
Scoring goals in back to back exhibition games wasn’t enough to earn Jansen Harkins a longer look at the Winnipeg Jets training camp. The veteran forward, going into his seventh full professional season, was among five players placed on NHL waivers by the Jets. They’re assigned to the AHL Manitoba Moose who begin their training camp on Monday.
The 27-year-old center was also guilty of making an ill-advised pass into the middle of the ice in his own end that was picked off by Claude Giroux and turned into the Senators’ winning goal with 18.3 seconds remaining in the second period of Friday’s loss. That includes three young forwards: 2023 first-round pick Colby Barlow, who is coming off being sidelined with a nasty case of the flu, along with Wyatt Bongiovanni and Henri Nikkanen .
