Jets' Thomas Milic: Allows two in relief effort

Milic turned aside 15 of 17 shots in Monday's 5-1 loss to Buffalo.

Milic entered the contest at the start of the second period in relief of Eric Comrie. The 22-year-old Milic is now 0-1-0 with a 3.64 GAA and an .882 save percentage through his first two NHL appearances. While he's yet to find the win column, Monday's outing was a step forward in the long road to becoming a consistent NHL netminder. With Connor Hellebuyck predicted to be sidelined until January due to a knee injury, Milic should have more opportunities to play moving forward. His next chance to take the ice is Wednesday in Montreal.
