He scored the game-winning goal late in the second period and added primary assists on the team’s second, third, and fifth goals.

After assisting on the Winterhawks’ first, second and fourth goals, Jarvis scored late in the third period to tie the game at five. He later assisted on the game-winning goal in overtime.
The 17-year-old from Winnipeg, Man. has already surpassed his totals from a strong rookie season, posting 49 points (20G-29A) in 37 games this season. Those figures include seven power-play goals, one short-handed goal, and four game-winning goals. The leading scorer on the Winterhawks, Jarvis also ranks 13th in WHL scoring, is tied for 14th in goals, and tied for 17th in assists.
At the 2017 WHL Bantam Draft, the 5-foot-10, 172-pound forward was selected 11th overall by the Winterhawks.
