Holy Toledo

Prior to turning pro, the defender tallied 31 points (14G, 17A) in 148 NCAA games with the University of Miami (Ohio).

The Regina, Sask. product has 159 points (31G, 121A) across his AHL career with Manitoba, Ontario and Rochester. DiVincentiis was loaned to the Moose on Sunday and started Manitoba’s game against Iowa that afternoon. In 25 games this season, the Bolton, Ont. native owns a 10-12-2 record with a pair of shutouts and a .906 save percentage. Currently, five players on the Jets’ roster (DiVincentiis, Clague, Heinola, Elias Salomonsson, and Walker Duehr) have played games for the Moose this season.
