Jets' Thomas Milic: Starting against Carolina

Milic will start on the road against Carolina on Friday.

Milic is making his NHL debut. He has a 2.14 GAA and a .921 save percentage in nine appearances with AHL Manitoba this season. He's up with the Jets because Connor Hellebuyck (knee) is unavailable. Carolina is a tough team to get for a first assignment -- the Hurricanes are 14-7-2 and rank fourth in the league in goals per game with 3.43.
